She did sympathize that for many of us, that live agent, with the ability to interact live, print out BPs, etc., is the best thing about having the UC membership.

Also noticed that the Club was very crowded - all non-table seats taken - and they were still selling day passes for $59 per person.
And currently (Feb 23/24) selling the annual membership for 30% off using miles. Thought about it since I only get UC on int'l flights, then decided to check this thread first to see if they just had a momentary lapse in judgment and course corrected - seems not.
