My guess is this will be variable, just as with purchasing tickets through AMEX travel services. If the agency (Chase, AMEX, whoever) has that route available with a bulk ticket pricing...that is what you are going to get. Saves the agency some money.
If they do not have bulk ticket available, then you get a regular ticket.
The lack of transparency with this whole thing is VERY disappointing.
We are into February...you would think that UA INSIDER would have provided some type of update by now.
The silence certainly lends credence to the "we had no idea of all the impacts of PQDs...what are we going to go" position.
