Agreed. It is a good business model UA is operating under - higher spend to earn higher award miles, higher award miles to redeem flights.

I am not purposefully buying higher fares (for a variety of reasons such as upgrade probabilities, status achievement, OPM) because I don't believe in UA miles any more. I am not playing its monetization games.
