United cuts partner award redemption rates by ~9%

First time seeing airlines cut prices!

The new pricing affects virtually all Star Alliance partners. Business class redemptions on partner airlines like Lufthansa, Turkish, Austrian, or TAP Air Portugal that previously cost 88,000 United miles each way are now down to 80,000 miles across the board. You'll see similar drops on Pacific routes too.

Transpacific business class on ANA and EVA Air went from 110,000 to 100,000 miles. That's a solid ~9% reduction, bringing the cost down to the credit card member discounted rates.
