Thumbs down This is a robbery by United
I am perplexed by the view from some folks at this forum that this change is somehow "fair".

This is a blatant effort by United to cut our MM benefits. When you reach 1M, you are entitled to nominate a companion to share your status under United MM program. No matter what.

To take a MM's hard earned benefit of nominating someone away is simply wrong.

So called "Daisy's Chain" of 20 GS is an urban myth. In most cases, it probably involves one MM and companion who is also MM.

A fair solution should be that the nominee retains the MM benefit to nominate another member to share earned status (at least Gold) instated of elevated status due to the 1st nomination.

Instead, UA decided to take a hard line approach and cut our benefits. This is a robbery, IMHO.
