Seems I'm further behind than I would have been had I stayed with United's Visa.
Any ideas?
My idea: Choose just about any other airline program and you'll get a 1-to-1 ratio.
I don't know why MP is still stuck at 1-to-2 with Starwood (i.e., one MP for two Starwoods) -- makes it seem that United is more like a low-end regional carrier than the major airline it purports itself to be.
