Flew AA for first time in 5+ years this week SFO-AUS for $580. UA was $700+ for a CRJ. With status match I was upgraded 3/4 segments (only missed DFW-AUS). Posting this in-flight DFW-SFO cuz they actually have wifi!

Thanks for all the posts guys, keep them coming. Make posting here part of your booking process. As soon as you book a ticket on another carrier, please put here what you bought, and who got the money....

hah funnily enough right when i was looking to try out AA, i was looking at trips to LAX, CVG and LAS from EWR/LGA/JFK and for my times AA was the same if not 15-30% more than UA's fares were.
"just as i thought i was out... they pull me back in..."
but hey, that's what i decided my flying patterns would be now. the lowest bidder is getting my business. i'm realigning my loyalty to my savings account. for personal trips, at least.

Send your receipts to UA. Posts like this show no practical purpose. You could all be mal-adjusted 400 lb high schoolers creatively writing in your parents basement.
NO lurker would take anything posted here seriously because there is no way to verify it.
I could post I took $18000 from an F class ticket to SYD and gave it to QF. I didn't. I could post it.
Nonsense.

PDX - BNE QF Prem Econ - $3,800
PDX - MSP DL $820 non-stop versus cx in DEN on UA*
PDX - SNA AS $360 non-stop versus cx in SFO on UA
*Will be doing this trip bi-weekly from Jul - Sep and the DL non-stop will save a lot of time by NOT going thru DEN so figure 800 * 6

What did you spend today on another airline that UA would have normally received?
Man....something tells me that AA and US will have a bait and switch coming in the next 12-18 months. Perhaps AA is using this to prop their bankrupt financials to get the highest dollar offer before they are sold. Next thing you know...they screw all their elites and mess up the integration.
Some may call it window dressing. Others may call it a pig with lipstick.

Money not spent
I didn't renew my United Club membership.
Not much but a start.

Yeah this was me grabbing that sweet VS sale fare, so the cost was only about $2K not $6K. There was a similar UAL deal at the time though, not sure who was matching who there.
