Just got this offer on my United cc-
Earn 3 total miles per $1 spent at gas stations, grocery stores and restaurants
I got 5 per $1 up to 5,000 bonus points (and could stack with the 1,000 bonus points for spending $1,000 (not worth it to continue the rest of that promo)).

If it’s non Amex or chase it’s pretty easy by chat/text.

I booked a United round trip flight via LifeMiles. I may need a later flight on way back so I booked another flight later on via United Mileage Plus. United sent an email that I have two flights same day so will need to cancel. Any way around this?

Is there any way to use ETC/FFC/TB to upgrade from Economy to Business?

If I book an award ticket for someone and pay the taxes on their united card, will they get the free bag?

I know they won't on my card.
I did this for someone, who added his MP number, and got free bags.

I booked a United flight through the Chase travel portal. I then had to cancel and they gave me a FFC. Issue is I don't need it and so asked them if they can switch to ETC (so I can gift or sell). They responded that since it was booked with third party travel agency it's not possible to turn it into a UTC. Anyone have any tips?

I doubt it’ll help, unless you have actual experience otherwise. With Amex and chase bookings it’s basically a lost cause.

If united is offering preorder meals on short haul domestic why can't they offer kosher meal?

Email them and ask.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.
