I have always thought the reciprocal benefit was lopsided. Used to be United MP elites got MR Platinum (Old Platinum, current MR Titanium) status IIRC. Not sure what it is currently. I always thought MR Elites (current Titanium) should have gotten Star Alliance gold status to be on par. Oh well....

United elites previously received MR Gold (current Platinum) status... got devalued to still Gold but one level down as far as benefits go.
