United sent out an email today announcing their new MileagePlus program. I urge everyone to read it closely and then complain to United about taking away a major benefit from Premier members. It turns out that the 25,000 mile Premier status has now been downgraded in benefits, the major one being that you can no longer reserve EconomyPlus seating at the time of booking. This is one of the major benefits of Premier status and going forward you are going to have to fly at least 50,000 miles in order to get it. I hope this upsets enough people that complain to United so that they rethink the idea of taking benefits from their frequent fliers.
