Why are people so excited about paying $400 for a ticket to Israel when the can get it free just by applying for a credit card?
I'm sure you can answer that yourself.

x8?
11?
Direct?
At the times we want?

Also, why waste the points when you could get it for <$400? :)

Are you crazy. Again, this wasn't a Dan's Deals deal. This was posted on every major travel blog. There are tons of people out there who do mileage runs. MXP for $120? Think how many just booked that. This was valid to dubai, to everywhere in Europe, not to the Dan's Deals Israel crowd
Some just don't understand this.
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

So you would use your miles/points instead of buying a ticket for 400?

A few people on FT from time zones where the deadline passed are still showing their reservations. Could just be a generic UA message.

It's also possible that "reservations" made by ticketing agents or their site have different "hold" times than one made thru uniteds website

Went to bed, and still haven't been confirmed- it's been over 10 hours. Doesn't look like I'll be getting this one, oh well
