I'm so confused
CPU's clear less now. Too many elites on the books. Got it.
UA now mandates minimum spend requirements to be part of their special elite club going forward. Check.
End result, some chunk of elites drop down to nothing UA cares about. Meaning those who truly pay (UA) to play could see better CPU in 2015. Yay!
Not so fast. New guidelines specify low-spending existing customers should not be rewarded. Instead, we will replace them with non-customers - let us say 'strangers' of other airlines, rewarded with status matches, potentially diluting the elite group again and CPU's become a challenge again.
This is the strategy for success?
