+ on M fares if you're 1K/GS.

This is one rule I too am still shocked has survived until today. When it first came out years ago on pmUA, I figured it would be wiped away quickly... yet it survives today.

You're still in your honeymoon phase with DL - don't let the bling fool you. UA's website ain't pretty, but on balance, it is more functional that DL's.
