Are those people dealing in "SkyPesos" rather than in United miles? (for the rationing, that is...)
They are not United miles, nor are they equal in value to United miles. It costs 6,900 Mypoints to get 2,500 UA miles, or 13,000 Mypoints to get 5,000 UA miles.

For redemptions for the most valuable gift cards (e.g., Amazon), Mypoints are worth about US $0.006 each (i.e., 6/10 of a cent).

And yeah, pretty stingy.
