Lifetime Member Edition: UC access changes Nov 1, 2019 (same day BP on UA or partner)
I wonder how many lifetime UC members will be impacted. |

Likely an exceedingly, almost immeasurable percentage of overall membership, but likely be an exceedingly vocal and overly miffed group of folks on FT.

I paid for a lifetime CO Club membership based on being able to access it regardless of what airline (or even if) I was flying. I would not have paid if it was this limited.
Sounds like it's time for a class action if UA doesn't carve out an exception for lifetime members. |

Do you srilll have the T&Cs at original purchase? Be interesting to see if CO has an out. |

I checked to see if I still had my original CO PC lifetime membership agreement, but I guess I tossed it. I'm banging my head against the wall, cursing whatever spring cleaning year resulted in that purge. I've emailed GS CS, United Club CS, and Oscar. I'm sure they'll say too bad, but let's see where this goes |

I have never paid for the UC as never saw the benefit (and rarely flew domestic on a regular basis until last year) and rarely use the UC when eligible these days as better options, but I would be annoyed if I paid for the UC and my usage would now decrease. Perhaps a matter or perspective of whether you are based in a hub or not. This policy impacts me because I do fly OAL out of HKG often and the UC membership has been a benefit to use HK United Club.

I'd bet well under 1% of the total UC Membership is a lifetime UC member.

I'm in the 1%. I bought my LT membership from EA in the late 1980s with 100,000 EA miles. That transferred to CO, then to UA. I think I've gotten my "miles worth." Since UA and AA are in the same terminal at BOS, I do use the UA Club a few times a year when flying AA. It was nice while it lasted.

I think your response/approach is far more rational than the "lets start a class action lawsuit" approach.

Easy to be rational when you've gotten 3+ decades of use for 100K miles versus a decade at an upfront cost of thousands of dollars paid under the promise of lifetime airport club membership without airline restrictions.
