They're testing to see what it will cost them. Hence why it's so tightly targeted.

They need to hit whatever the number of redemptions they have as a goal to see what this program will cost them.

Interesting, whenever there are award seats available on UA there is K class available. K class can't be upgraded to BF via a GPU. So why would AMEX book you in a higher fare class than what available?....

noone thinks this will present an issue?

If you seek a refund or credit from the Eligible Airline or American Express for a Qualified Ticket, American Express reserves the right to reverse certain aspects of the original booking of the applicable Qualified Ticket(s) by: (i) crediting the number of Points to your Membership Rewards program account that were originally deducted when the applicable Qualified Ticket was booked, and (ii) reversing the credit that American Express originally applied to your MR-Enrolled Card when the applicable Qualified Ticket was booked. You acknowledge that American Express's reversal of these aspects of the original booking will result in the original charge associated with the applicable Qualified Ticket(s) remaining on your MR-Enrolled Card without a statement credit from American Express. Accordingly, if the Eligible Airline did not refund the cost of the Qualified Ticket(s) to your MR-Enrolled Card, then you are responsible for paying the original charge on your Card statement associated with the applicable Qualified Ticket(s).

In all likelihood, that's the same type of warning as on churning.

If it isn't, that'll be one way to bring the costs of this program down.

this will be short-lived but definitely hoping either my wife or I are targeted.

Just to clarify, I can only use this on AA or UA metal, correct?

And I can unofficially use this even if there's no saver award space?

Maybe he can get them to transfer points as a one time courtesy, highly YMMV.
