Partner business-class awards raised up to 200%

partner business ~27,500–33,000 → partner business 30,000–99,000 (up to +200%)

United (receives transfers from Chase Ultimate Rewards and is a core US program) quietly raised unpublished partner business-class rates on many regional/intra-Europe, intra-Asia, intra-Africa, and other routes without notice. US-origin long-haul awards were largely spared in this specific wave. Examples include intra-Europe short-haul business rising to ~30k–33k and some African routes jumping 200%.
