I don't know that it will impact me. But I do think the endless extensions are silly and have created an expectation that people are somehow entitled to special treatment. Let's just be done with this and move on. Expire the darn things and let people start over.

Maybe. It's a zero cost method for UA to potentially tip the scales in its favor when a customer is making a purchase decision. To me it just shows how little UA cares about the ongoing dilution of earned benefits.
