For the record, they're not even promising potential lower pricing for international flights, only for USA and Canada.

Hidden City will be the best way forward with Mileage Plus

Well said, add this to the collection. So BA, AC, and now UA. In a way it's better but then again it's not fixed so that stinks.

I thought they were only introducing dynamic pricing in awards from November 19'...
So what is this??  >:(
I just did an award search for TLV-LGA on 7/23 in Y, seeing prices in miles for 55k, 63k, 69k, 70k, 76k, 82k, 95k...

This is not for saver.
On anytime awards this has been the case for a while

Wonder if UA will charge people massive differences in fare for dropping legs :)

I would assume they don't even need to charge you. Just remove the balance points of what the ticket would've cost from your account. You don't even have a credit card to make a dispute.

It's so sad to see this happening, booking within 24hr might start costing a fortune especially with no availability depending on how they set up their system. Now it's a breeze just choose your flight.
Always praying for delayed baggage.
