Lol. Besides AV is already $25 in general.

Odds are that if it’s nonsaver, you’re getting pretty crappy value for your points and should consider revenue. But yes it’s a fair point.

Just plain LOL.

Yes, and this is with the assumption that the miles are not already in your UA account.

Obviously. There’s lots of assumptions including the assumption that you have miles. Just laying our broad alternative options to redeem UA flights without paying close in fees. Clearly $40 is better than $75 if UA miles of your only option.

No, thats not what you said

This is what you said, totally different tone of voice

No you are incorrect. Both of those statements I said. I am not writing a novel or a blog. It’s common sense that if you don’t have other star alliance miles, then your only option is UA miles.

So based on some rumors on various blogs, $75 close-in fee will be eliminated 11/15/19.

Oh and United’s award charts are going away (like Delta’s) on that date and move to dynamic award pricing. sighhh

I 'll try doing some bookings from now to burn UA miles. Nothing good left.

exactly

[Yo123]

Though it doesn’t always work. And, even harder when it is a last minute booking as the change of date becomes much more apparent with respect to being within the 3 week window.

Just book exactly a month out and say you got the wrong month.
