The changes to Mileage Plus for 2015 are for many people (myself included) a devaluation and a reduction in benefit for some.
However, at least UA gave significant notice that they were changing the program.
British Airways gave 3 months notice today that they're "making changes" to their program effective 28-April, and they're not pretty.
- Earning on lowest economy fares down from 100% to 25% miles flown
- Elite level bonus halved for silver (comparable to UA Gold) from 100% to 50%
- Minimum RDM earning on lowest Y fares down from 500 to 125
- Reduction in earning on the (expensive) LCY to JFK all business class service
- Increase in redemption miles required
They're even making you pay for any internal UK flight which forms a connection to a European award ticket!
(There's loads more change too) ->

So, when you consider the changes to MP, I'd like to think others are worse off. Thoughts?
