Will you switch frequent flyer programs / what will you switch to?
[ ] no change (stay with UA)
[ ] change to American Airlines
[ ] change to Delta Air Lines
[ ] change to Alaska Airlines
[ ] change to non-US Star Alliance (please post which program)
[ ] change to non-US Oneworld (please post which program)
[ ] change to non-US SkyTeam (please post which program)
[ ] split alliances / programs (please post which programs)
[ ] cease preference for any program
Really wish we could have two polls - the one you outlined above.
A second one on which *Alliance carrier do you plan to use for flights to help you get status on United. Some great suggestions made to me due to my international travel on my own dime.
AC/TK/OS/LX seem to receive 👍
NZ 👎
LH depends.
Fare class of course is key. Been looking at the fare class tables (wish there was one summary grid but am guessing there will be an IT genius that will make it work).
I think mine will be a combination of UA and *Alliance flights to make 1K as I want to use the PlusPoints as the upgrades are the key for 1K for me. Yes I like IRROPs, yes ibloke the ability to change award flights close in but it is about the upgrades for me. The MP Chase CC will be ditched.
