Wow, I love United Airlines.... I just cashed in my miles for "free" flights. Besides some nominal $5 award fee, I also have to pay $75 per ticket for "Award Booking Fee." Obviously, I'm still paying less than a regular ticket, but I view this fee as an insult.
And, to add insult to injury, even though I used my fee-based United credit card, I will have to fight them when they want to charge me for checked in luggage. Terms of this credit card are no fees for luggage, yet EVERY year we have flown United they try to charge us, and we have to fight with the attendant before he/she reluctantly "waives" the fee.
Only good news is that my frequent flyer mileage balance is close to zero. I'm cancelling this card and will look to other airline choices for my future domestic travel.
