Really? I just got off the phone with the web support desk, the agent insisted that award accelerator purchases are not allowed on award tickets. That was after the agent on the 1K desk told me that United had discontinued the option long ago. !!! Guess I'll have to call back and get a different agent.

Actually, while it's true that the original pricing comes back after re-loading the page, the old higher pricing comes back on the payment page. So, you can see why it looks like a bait&switch to some people.
