Buttttttt of course they give us less than 2 weeks to get the form in or else no benes AT ALL.
Actually looks like a pretty brilliant move on the part of united. If they had just taken our previous benefits and started charging for them, we would have been annoyed. So instead, they changed them to some ridiculous leg-based fees, left it for a few months, THEN changed it to this delta-esque system... Now we're happy to be paying "only" $75 a year to get what we were getting for free a year ago...
(The only positive new development is the "enrolled friend" thing)
At least they're going to stop charging me to commute to work...
