Before I could answer some questions that were posted, my post was moved and I do not know how to locate it.

On to one of the questions. Yes, nobody has seen these United changes that will take place in 2020 yet. They are not yet posted anywhere. I have inside information.

Starting in 2020, United frequent fliers who live outside the USA will also have to meet PQD minimums in order to obtain frequent flier status. This is a change.

Since I cannot find my post, I ask again. I am a non USA resident and citizen who flies in or through the USA often enough and sometimes on USA based carriers. Given this yet to be announced change (you all will remember me when they do announce this), which, if any, USA based or non USA based airlines offer frequent flier status solely based on flight miles (the old fashion way) and not based on a combination of both miles flown AND base fares paid? Thank you in advance for your information.

I am tired of Uniteds taking things away mentality. Since i live outside the USA, when I fly Star Alliance Partner Airlines, I already often get screwed on the partner airlines mileage. Even if i book the flight directly on the United web-site. Now they want to screw me further by not giving me full credit AND making me pay more? Not on my watch!
