I left UA a year ago, and leaving my 4 years of PremEx behind. I was actually making a run at 1K until they bent me over the barrel.

I gave up after I had a flight cancelled on me and they refused to give a refund of the award miles I used for the ticket. When I called several times to protest, I was called a liar, a cheat, and several other nasty terms. Still looking for the best way to liquidate my stash of miles.

This year, I've been flying Southwest and AirTran almost exclusively, and get 2-3 free RT tickets a month.
