So I got an email today from United telling me I'm switching all my spend to Marriott cards..

Since I'm always chasing status, I use my miles for friends and family when the mileage value is better than the cash fare, and a little bit for the change flexibility as a 1K.

Dynamic pricing just means the value redemptions (ie someone needs to get to a funeral tomorrow and the airfare is $700 but there's still saver availability) will go away.

And if the miles basically just have cash value, might as well just use a cash back card.

Feel like United is killing the Golden Goose here... Kinda hard to sell miles no one wants.
