I am happy to get all those 'worthless' systemwides ... please send them to my snail mail address.
There are many other advantages/differences: confirmable NorthAmerican-upgrade-vouchers, heading the waiting list (100 hrs) for the 500-miles-NAmerican-upgrades, no-black-out-dates, 1K-check-in-line/-lounge (I never use that lounge), free upgrades in some hotels (my favorite example: Mandarin Oriental, BKK) ... and those supplementary 50'000 UA-flight miles also bring me nearer to my 1Mio-flight-goal with UA.
