I was able to access UC as recent as end of January 2015 so this change must be recent. Though disappointed, not surprised at all due to the number of people getting foreign *G cards. While I can go without UC (I actually skipped a few in the last few trips), a few lounges with showers do come in handy (IAH - E, ORD - C) sometimes.

Speaking of which, has any M&S members been flying with UA since March 1st? I am just curious how they accrue TK status miles as MP members earn based on revenue now.

OTOH, I'm curious how long AmEx can keep up with their current Centurion lounge standards (prime ribs with au jour, etc) with more and more people using them.
