United MileagePlus (Consolidated) - Questions/Answers about the new UA VDB travel credits

Hi,

It's the first time I received a VDB since the merger ($500 for BOS-SFO today)

Do these travel credits work the same way as pmUA - in that they still accrue miles/upgrade eligibility as though it were a full cash $$ purchase?

Thanks!!

Yes, they work as if they were cash/credit.

They work just like the old CO credits because that's exactly what they are, just renamed to UA.

1) Are they transferable to another person?

2) If they are not and someone else uses them and is caught will that person lose the ticket?

Yes, they are transferable.

500? Wow nice job! And to think Jeff thought ua paid too much for vdbs when they had a flat 400 policy for all domestic bumps!
