My K class ANA ticket in Feb earns 100% currently, after Mar 1, 25%. But for those of you buying top tier fares, you are actually getting more bonus than before. But I think I'll just stick with AP and earn my standard 50% and be ok with that.
Every single person on the UA board knew that partner rates would be cut ever since the Copa scheme came out. Noone was foolish enough to believe that 100% partner redeemable miles would last past March 1. The big surprise is that t
hey didnt cut earning status miles.
Your K class ANA ticket will earn 25% redeemable miles with UAMP, and 50% with AE.
The big difference is that it will earn 100% status miles with UAMP (on most tickets), but still only 50% status miles with AE.
I guess it depends what you want, status or redeemable miles. Since redeemable are cheap, or free, or easily manufactured, I'll take the 100% status miles over 50% status miles any day.
