Would have saved me from breaking out in a cold sweat.

Because this way they can have fun with us.

I'm not sure where to put this question. I hope someone can help.
I have a united acct that I just saw expires June 30. What is the cheapest way to do some activity to keep it from expiring. I don't have a united credit card.

tons of avail.

Wow, it's crazy how all the bloggers predict it by every big move and yet the airlines still let these glitches fall through. Too bad for me it's not good for August, but I hope lots of people can take advantage.

Booked EWR-SFO in January. Got it for 34k RT on LH, so that's still alive if you get the right rep.

Absolutely, assuming you're willing to connect in LAX/SFO.

You mean 35k? And why shouldn't be alive?

34k. Rep rounded the segments from 17.5k down. Not a big deal, and I didn't ask for it, but I'll take it.
