In what way? It's the same old wording, but saying there's 100% bonus isn't specific to how the points are earned - it doesn't reference whether earning is based on distance or dollars. And there's nothing stopping AC from restricting the bonus earning to only certain airlines.

It's too bad the status passes are in the same category though; that might have been a better alternative for many "friends" don't travel all that often on their own.

Yes 25K has provided 20 eUps as a selectable privilege previously, during the switch to Amadeus, they gave out an extra set of eUps, 5 additional if I recall correctly.
It appears they added those two numbers together for 2021.

Ah I didn't realize there was no eUp option in bundle one.

Interesting that they’ve done a soft rollout on the comms. Wonder when we are going to be able to select benefits. We are like a week away from 2021 seems pretty late.

But yes, I agree 11 and 14 are the most likely multipliers, and 14 would match UA when you consider forex.

There's no discussion on the benefits page about that benefit disappearing when the accumulation change happens, so it would be pretty crappy if they didn't replace it with something substantially similar - those of us who selected it would be screwed out of half a year, or a third of a year, or whatever, of a benefit, when we could have chosen something else.

Do you know something the rest of us don't know, or is that a guess?
