Success!!!
Here's the story:
I was on the phone for a good 1.5 hours with absolutely no luck, I was very upset and had no clue what to do. I got transferred from one rep. to the next and to managers and nothing. I began to think one of the requirements to work for UA is being a drop out or something. I guided them on the website and showed them where it says the rule is allowed and nothing. I even told them about CORE and nothing.
I was on my last string of patience speaking to a manager and I told her I need to speak to someone who knows what they are doing, of course she got upset and told me I am not transferring you....
Ok time for a HUCA! I love that rule.
Finally I get transferred to a manager in Detroit by the name of Lenda Gordon and at first she said it's only for members with status but after telling her about CORE and the works she knew exactly what I meant.
I had a nice chat with her and she was telling me about this rule that it's not so know but pretty sweet!
5 minutes later the ticket was booked!
As we were rapping up the conversation I asked her what should I do in the future so she tells me the following: You need to speak to a "Service Director" for only they have permission to take out more miles than the ticket you are officially getting seating in, the "agents on the floor" can't do this, and of course she told me to mention CORE......
