I seem to recall that UA used to track high mileage passengers and that was for whom the original RCCs were set up for (something in the back of my mind was 75K flyers?) I don't know what else they did for these passengers, but do know they tracked the travels. Certainly someone here would remember and perhaps be one of these old-timer FFers?
