So i want to make a change to to a United  award flight and so far the only thing they offer is to waive the change fees to flights that have award seats.

I would like to lop off the connecting flight to EWR but they are charging $150 for that.

I could redeposit and rebook the ticket and the close in fee is waived because of my presidential card, but the cs recommended not to do that since the miles are not available immediately and the seats might not be there when i want them. (she also said that they no longer waive the close-in fee but i'm pretty sure she's wrong on that.)

Any ideas how to do this ? thanks
You can call in Mileage Plus and ask them to make the miles available right away. Either way you can put the flight on hold until tomorrow night.

i dont see any option of holding the flight..

just thinking, if i cancel and rebook it now then i lose the possibility of making any further changes if needed since they view it as a ticket to TLV booked right now?

Do these terms apply when purchased on UA.com on a foreign carrier as well ?

Not sure I completely understand the question, but as long as your ticket number starts with 016 it should apply
