Don't have miles there and I don't want to transfer just to find out that it's phantom.
Anyone have an account login (with 70K in it) they wouldn't mind sharing?
Almost all gone by now. Why Didn't you just PUTPAC AC?

Wasn't an ideal routing anyway and I've already done LX F.
If it was on UA I'd have booked it due to free cancellations and taken it if no better routing opened.

Does AC and/or ANA show the same space? PUTPAC?

When booking the with the ua card holder then add 2-3 other passengers to a booking! What causes me and them to get free baggage? (I know I have the cc so that gives me) but what triggers to tell them I have the card? So what if I took myself of the booking(canceled my ticket) will my 3 other travelers still get free baggage? Btw what's the fees to cancel an award booking on ua? Tia!

Additinal pax must be on the same reservation to get free bags. Can't add additional pax later. You FF# is attached and you must use the UA card for the purchase of at least the $5.60 tax. If you come off they won't get free bags.

GIYF but it's $200

If I miss a connecting flight due to UA (delays due to weather, mechanical etc) how accommodating are they when flights were booked using points?
Does there have to be X space on the next flight for them to put me on?

And since this thread is about united award I took my question to another thread! I didn't want ppl answering me on my question abt priceline(chas vishalom)so for the cross posting I asked it on a different thread!......(ps; how many warnings do I get?   :'(:

How many broken rules can you spot above?

A few other posting pointers:
1.   This is an open forum, not a text message. Please try to use proper spelling and grammar. This is not the place for “u2” and “wats up” lingo.
2.   The longer your post, the less likely members will be to read it.
3.   The more questions you ask in one post the less likely any will be answered.
4.   Don't write really long paragraphs. No one likes to get dizzy.
