“Amount of Miles Required to Redeem for Certain Awards to Change
Effective Oct. 16, 2006, the number of miles required to redeem for many Standard and select Saver Awards will change. As an example, the domestic Economy Standard Award redemption amount will increase from 40,000 to 50,000 miles, matching most other U.S. carriers’ current standard award levels. Even with these changes, Mileage Plus award redemption levels remain among the lowest of international carriers with three classes of service.”

It seems like they have been giving away bonus miles for almost anything in the last year or so, and now they’re charging more to use them. Doesn’t make me happy, but on the other hand, short haul awards are back at 15K miles.
What really upsets me is the fee to book awards within 14 days of travel. Don’t plan that far in advance? Pay up.
