I was a bit weary of the 2020 requirements at first, but now I'm resentful against an airline who DOESN'T have the new UA program. I flew two very high cost intl round trips on DL this year which has me at $12K in MQDs but relatively low MQMs and as such, I'll have only Silver next year on them. I'm honestly very annoyed by this. So if the reverse was true, I'd love the new system.
Things change. Don't get so personally hurt by a corporate rewards program!
