Or is it more that AA has thrown up its hands, and UA has no choice but to follow?

Yes, this one gets you DEQM on UA.

At first blush, AA's is effective today (9/2) and UA's is tomorrow. I don't believe AA's included EQS, either.

Yes, but it doesn't say what you've registered for

Anyway, as today is only Sept 2, looks like we'll have to re-register tomorrow.

I wonder how many people who register for these things... I wonder if we'll see an email or other promotion for it tomorrow...

hmm so by my calcs instead of ending around 40k-50k (well 40k for sure but was thinking of hitting some mileage runs to make 1p for the first time ever...) I will now be pushed to somewhere around 70k eqm...

not so sure I can afford to push for 1k but man i've never been so close... makes it look tempting...

I think this is the answer. Had AA not done this I don't think any of the other airlines would have started a fall DEQM promo. UA really didn't have a choice in the matter.

PS. 1K here I come!!!!!

Since it says registration period is between 3 Sept and 15 Dec, so I assume registration cannot be completed before 3 Sept. Also explains why the promotion is not showing in mypromotions.

Wow, thanks to this promo I'll be at ~98k EQM by year-end. This just inspired me to go for 1K
