If I was 100% sure on this I would snap it up asap, HKG fares from YVR are usually >$1000 CAD. I'm tempted to book this UA and get 100% PQM, but yea the RDM will suffer for such a cheap fare. Hopefully this sticks around, I definitely wanna go to HK!

United has already released their accrual chart for partners, it's pretty much the same as before. NH still generally earns 100%.

I don't think there has to be any worry, at least for 2015, for a devaluation. Also fares to HKG will never be that expensive, not with Delta at Seattle.
