What is your point? If it will only affect a few 1K, does that incremental number make a difference to UA?
If I take 3 paid trips to India on a P/Z fare I should hit the miles and PDQ around 12k and make 1k, I am on target for Plat based on 2 round trips now. So by your logic I am not the customer they want and I should not book UA and go LH all the way?
