I’d need to drop $1,125. $550 would be re-couped on the award miles that come with it + the bump to 9x earning last next year.

So, is $575 worth it for 2 RPUs, better saver availability, and the ability to pull the fam along into EconPlus? I don’t place much value on comp upgrades b/c I book biz for work and wouldn’t bank on them hitting for personal travel from ORD

I’ve personally found it worth it. Fam gets bumped EVERY flight.

I am 100% supportive of extending status but not on 12/4 after their “fly to the finish” gimmick. United should have just called it at the same time Delta extended. There will be a lot of really happy people when they see their status extended but it stings having forked over the $$$
