Are you booking multiple destination?

Yes, is that the reason?

Could be. Does it show pricing at your next/last stop?

No, only the subtotal at the end, though when I search the itinerary in one way it does show the pricing, so I guess when you do it in multiple destination it doesn't show.

Question: I have 2 UA accounts. 60K and 32K. i need 50k to upgrade my Y class flights. is it worth it for me to add 18k to the smaller account or use the 60 and be left with 10?

If you have a likely near term use for 60K, yes.

If you have a use for 60K together in the near term, it's worth adding from UR to maintain the 60K balance. But if this trip is the only thing on your radar, then just go with the existing balance in UA so you don't have to commit those UR to UA.

Thanks. I have other trips, but there maxed out already (as in flying I )

I do need a one way flight back but there is no avail, and i see flights for 600 a piece which is decent...

yes

all three have diff names. (meaning there is a third that has 0,322 in it now)

one my hebrew one my english and one my wifes. was a huge pain to clear my wifes out. i had to add 55k to book summer flights.

No pateince any more to try to merge my accounts. my english name is not real, so i have no proof were the same person, (besides one of my credit cards)
