No offense but...if all of the ff programs did this, there would be far too many elites. The benifits (upgrades, etc.) would be immpossible to cash in on.
I am glad that you switched and welcome you to an excellent program but I just hope that One Pass does not accept everyone else who wants to swich over to a better program.
Oh yes, my question - do you still have your miles, status, etc. on United? If so - well done!!
