Miles to Upgrade Issue
 
Just used miles to wait list for NJ to Orange County round trip. One way is the usual 15,000 miles but return is 17,500. I've never seen this before, why is one way more miles than the other?

As part of the new award chart, V/W fares require 17,500 miles for an upgrade, and M/E/U/H/Q require 15,000 miles.

15k to 17.5k is nothing - take a look at the major gouge for sub-W fares - it's now 20K miles each way, a whopping 5K increase!

Big devaluation of miles, but maybe ill get more EUAs now -- those silvers might think twice about wait listing when they have to fork out another 2,500-5,000 miles each way.

It's a lot harder to amass those miles when you only have a 25% bonus.
