@Dan Now that you're back, are you planning on covering this? I didn't see anyone else mention it yet.

It's a huge increase, and especially since United is not releasing any award space to partners (barely any "expanded" space either) this really hurts as you're forced to spend up to 50% more on *saver* space overnight.

United casually honors lower award rate from 2 days ago.

Which call center?

I was just on with them. I had 10.5k booked on a Monday, when Sunday was 19.5k. There was a small window of availability yesterday where Sunday was 10.5k as well tried switching online and I kept getting an error. By the time I was talking to Someone it was back at 19.5k. As an aside both my original Monday ticket that I paid 10.5k for and the Sunday are pricing at 19.5k. What are my chance of getting this honored. US call center said I needed more miles nothing doing…

[tzifanya54]

To clarify my question. I would be switching XN space to XN space both on United metal, and both Currently pricing at exactly the same amount. However at time of purchase it was 10.5k, now both the leg I have and the one I want are 19.5k both XN, what are my chances of getting an even swap done here. It is also x6 tickets, so it adds up. Any one with some insight will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Is there away to search award travel 30 day calendar to sort by non stop?  When I uncheck the stops it does nothing to the calendar and when I click that day sure enough it shows the non stop as a lot more miles...

Use the legacy award search.

Find a date that has availability in coach and put that date in. After it pulls up availability for that date you can display the 30 day calendar and filter by nonstop.

For the last 2 weeks I have been checking numerous domestic or international tickets and the rates are horrendous even for economy domestic regardless of dates

They went Delta all the way. Happy I redeemed almost all miles a few days before. I do think we should try to put more pressure on them to revert these changes.

Dan, I think you're being too kind to United here. Definitely wouldn't title the post, "devalues some awards to Europe".
