How long does it take for points to redeposit after canceling?
Is this still instant? Waiting a good few minutes already... Cancelled immediately after I booked. made a mistake,,

After you cancel, you need to click through to redeposit the miles.

I have ORD-TLV booked. Can I add CLE-ORD to the current award for the $125 change fee?

United has told me that in order to do that they have to cancel the original ticket and reissue a new one. If there is no longer any award availability, you won't be able to rebook. Is that true?

How far out is your flight? Fares between CLE and ORD are consistently pretty cheap, it might just be worth booking a BP or regular revenue flight.

Maybe under the new screwed up system.

But if its all on UA metal they are able to get the space back for you.

Just keep HUCAing and pushing, it can be done.

Then you run risk if the first fight is delayed.

Just yesterday United award search seems to give me different Savver options when I log in with my mileage number as opposed to just searching without logging in.  This is so even though I do not have a United mileage cc.

To further complicate things when I called Singapore Air they were able to locate some Saaver award United flights that I found when logging in with my mileage number but not all

any recent experience with this?

When searching for flights TLV-EWR there's plenty of direct options for 02/2018 but on the return, there are almost no options for 2-3 months straight, is that normal, and any idea if I can expect more to open in the coming months?

Do you have expanded search options ?

Will logging in also help for availability for a paid booking?
