But UA is following DL and reducing the amount of miles earned on certain international tickets and on many contracted rates (think - cruise line fares, online agency bulk tickets, vacation package rates, some corporate rates).
UNITED MILEAGE CREDIT WILL BE EARNED AS FOLLOWS
E U H Q V W CLASS: 75PCT
S T L G N K CLASS: 50PCT
So be aware of that if mileage earning is important - particularly if buying your ticket through a source other than United directly.
