Frustrated - Apparently you can't use TravelBank cash when booking with the Founder's Card discount rate.  Anyone know how to get around this?

Works for me.

When you switch a flight, you can't use the discount rate though.

United Airlines signs a sponsorship deal with Wrexham
In what may turn out to be a shrewd piece of sponsorship, United Airlines has become the main shirt sponsor of Wrexham AFC.

From next season Wrexham AFC will be toiling away in Division 2 of the English Football League, having been promoted from non-league status.

Whilst Division 2 clubs would not normally attract a major global airline as a sponsor, Wrexham is different. If the story has passed you by, it is now owned by Hollywood royalty Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds who turned their story into a successful TV series, ‘Welcome to Wrexham’.

Wrexham is even having a US pre-season tour this summer – flying on United, of course – which is some

Interesting ... When selecting Founder's Card discount rate (i.e., Business travel under the "Choose your program") to search, upon check-out the Travel Bank option is not there.  Starting over, this time selection "Personal travel" under "Choose your program" then the Travel Bank option is there during check out.

For the flights from EWR to SFO the premium economy section is only sold via miles? Not seeing an option for money. Wanted to know if that’s accurate.

It seems United will charge 10% of revenue fare, is that correct?

I have a domestic flight booked with miles for around 2 months from now and I would like to change the return date. Currently the paid and mileage tickets are much higher for that date compared to a few days before / after. Is there any point in waiting it out to see if they go down, or should I just book now in case they go up? (I don't have enough united miles to book the new flight without cancelling the first)
Thanks

ua 60 sfo - mel on jan 18 was cancelled, i assume that was the plane which was meant to come back as ua 61 on jan 20 fro mel - sfo . however that flight is operating, albeit with a 5 hour delay. how did they get another plane down under to operate the flight ? fly a empty aircraft, operate under a different flight number [i dont see any], when you track it on ua.com it give you error.

It's not a yes or no question, for some the exit row would definitely be worth $100, the regular e+ is only 3 inches more legroom but it can mean the difference between completely cramped, and just cramped. $600 though is a lot if one person is paying.
