United Airlines has now launched a targeted promotion for trying people continue to use its p.s. Flights after moving them from New York’s JFK airport to Newark (that United still calls New York…).
You can earn bonus redeemable miles, bonus premier qualifying miles or RPUs (regional premier upgrades). You have to choose between these three options.
You can access and try to register for this offer here.

Conclusion
United Airlines probably loses quite a bit of the p.s. traffic by moving it from JFK to EWR, although it gains more connectivity this way to/from Europe and other cities.
This is a good offer for those that fly using business/high economy fares on p.s. and can thus benefits from it.
