This being a Texas-centric company now perhaps they can take them from the energy complex: "We begin boarding with our light-sweet-crude members, followed by our brent-crude flyers."
I'm all for the super-heros.

This is my first year as a 1K. Their "special 1K website" is a joke and totally useless to me. They're better off dropping it, if they're not going to make it useful.

I agree. It is sort of sad, actually. I remember when 1K really meant something. Now, it is just a 'yeah, you are somewhat special, but don't expect much' designation.
I know there has been talk even of a super GS level. I bet within 1-2 years, UA's 'level inflation' will have me pining for the good old days when GS really meant something.
alas....

I've only been 1K for 3 years, and in that entire time the 1K-only site has been pretty well useless...can't say I even looked at it in at least 18 months. From this thread, I think two things become clearer: 1K used to really mean something but has been devalued. Second, that devaluation started years ago. It's not the merger, per se, but so far the merger has not given us much hope for a return to the former glory of the 1K product.

Believe the question was about 1K Voice e-mail contract which still exists and is still responded to.

Thanks for pointing out the error as I believe there are many who would want to e-mail 1K voice.
However, this thread is supposed to be discussing the 1K website.
