Well, at least they're not insisting you pay with the United card.

I guess it's a good thing I used that targeted offer this fall for 100K miles for a Quest card. I think I'm actually going to keep it--not because of the lousy extra mile in the new scheme, but because the $200 travel bank credit and the Lyft credits make it affordable. And as someone who's been accustomed to DL redemptions for a while, I've been shocked at how low the UA redemptions are in comparison. I got LHR-ATL in J for 80K miles. And the card discounts for redemptions seem way better than the ones for Delta. DL usually wants 400K-600K for a J transatlantic.
