United raising awards

[robi]

[Bostener]

Unbelievable!

[MilesNpoints]

They completely gutted the Star Alliance award redemption values - you cannot even call this a devaluation!  Everyone (United) needs to hear our voice on Twitter, etc.  They have a right to do what they want, but 220,000 miles + for first class on a Star Alliance carrier?  Ya right!  jeff.smisek@united.com needs to hear your voice...

How much is an economy ticket to Israel going to be?

87% increase USA-TLV in F

[Chaikel]

Add Chase to the list of people to complain to. They've slaved away - successfully - to gain market share from Amex. They must give UA aound $1 bln a year. If someone in Chase is made to realize the implications, this madness may end

[Drago]

I cant wait to see where Dan will be flying to in 2014 to use up his miles 

How about bringing the entire DDF community to s/w special?

gotta get that guy that had the interview and started the whole panic to tell everyone to get rid of their ua miles now as . . . .

Middle East - Japan/Australia is now less miles.

What you should do:
IMHO the gist of the letters should be that this is a breach of contract. While moderate increases are expected, an 87% increase is not anticipatable, and is therefore in bad faith. Feel free to add your own $.02

RT @Dansdeals #UnitedUnfriendly tweet

And what I believe is the most important: Chase.
Chase gives United hundreds of millions, maybe even over 1 billion dollars a year for their miles. The one voice whose say actually matters here is Chase. If we can get Chase to realize what a colossal loss this can have for them they might actually do something about it.

Will the price of United miles go down?

[Moshe123]

This is ridiculous!
Class action lawsuit here we come! Please.

[damaxer91]

This is ridiculous!
Class action lawsuit here we come! Please.

On what grounds?

[Moshe123]

Will the price of United miles go down?

Of course!

[Moshe123]

On what grounds?

The letter of the contract might let them change whatever they want whenever they want, but the judge might disagree. Not a good faith increase.
