You are welcome. Glad it was useful to you. Wish they had not reduced bonus miles for Gold and Plat members. Luckily, I had some MRs in January and February before the conversion date, and still got the 100% credit. Happy travels.

Issue creating MR on UA.com
I am used to creating MR on PMUA.com but the new website appears to limit routing. I am currently trying to price out a RT sfo-cle-mci-cle-sfo in G and it will not allow me. I can put together the trip on Priceline but not on UA.com. I can also book on UA.com as 2 one ways but not the RT. I want to use a e-cert but I am unable to do so. Has anyone encountered anything like this on the website.

I personally constructed a MR in mid-Feb and was unable to price it out anywhere. So I called UA tech support, and was able to get it priced and ticketed.

When I priced out that itinerary on the new united.com with multi-city search, it worked out just as Darren posted - one segment at a time - 6 segments, exactly as they appeared in the original post. Pricing was correct, too.

Thanks for your response. The problem I am getting is when I do it segment by segment it pulls up L fare and not the G fare for the first 2 segments. What was nice about the PMUA site was that the fare class was only selected (Displayed) once you completed selecting all the segments and it appears at the new united.com does it segment by segment. I just hope this is not always in the case in the future as the old site worked great.

I was able to price an SBA-LAX-CLE-MCI-CLE-SFO-SBA itinerary on ITA for 5/26-5/27 for $248.80, but can't get it to price at that on united.com. I can't make the trip that weekend anyway, so no matter I guess.
That's 6602 PQM with 500 mile minimums, 3.77cpm. Pretty hard to find a run that good outta SBA often.
Edit: I see lots of availability for similar routings on ITA in September and October for that price, but can't get anything to price right on united.com.

Thanks. I can now find them searching for two one-ways (SBA-SFO-CLE-MCI, and the reverse) on United.com. For some reason, putting in the whole itinerary comes up more expensive.
