It is unknown how UA dynamic award will look like. But it is presumed to harm those targeting long-haul business (as a countermeasure against Chase.

FWIW - what you have now is perfect. When you get the right staffs, you can get E+ and lounge access. So yes - I won't fully commit to UA at this moment.

Also - going with UA may create a negative impact to you. Because you have Premier Silver for no obligation, by attempting to earn Premier Gold, you forfeit your Silver benefit practically.

Having the pooling feature is good. But a generous expiration date policy is better, as it can keep the miles practically lifetime.
