Did anyone at United mention to you anything about your ticket? Do they see when they check you in how many miles were used to book your flight?

I would say closer to 20,000 flights were booked. Just a guess.

I think <10,000.
DDF was of the leading blogs on this and so far only 49 people confirmed via survey. Even if each of the 49 booked two, its still only 98.

Interesting. UA is allowing me to book award tix into HKG, but nothing leaving. Strange they haven't fixed the system for flights departing HKG yet.

(And yes, the flight going into HKG priced correctly :))

I still doubt it reaches 10,000. FT only had 145 posts by the time it was dead.

I didn't manage to book into HKG (a legit ticket) earlier.


The real question is what can UA do to me if I have a balance of -2,000,000.

Some guy on another blog called UA about his flight and they realized he booked it for 4 miles and told him he's on the calling list and there will be someone to discuss it with him...
