2 words come to mind, but I don't want a bunch of crazed xtians after me for taking their lord's name in vain. 
Oh what the heck -- "Jeebus Krust!" I'd have to be stoned silly to do that.

I just want to see the face of the GA around Monday afternoon. Be sure to book the exact same seat for every flight. I'm sure you're going to start seeing the same flight crew and cabin crew...
But the bragging rights. That's a good one...

Now *that* would keep the family happy in my 2.75+ day of flying.

After all the posts on mistake fares, it is refreshing to see a true MR for points. It meets the UA minimum of $150 just right.
Based on the flight timings, it looks like it could be the same aircraft from PHX. Could change once you get to DEN though.
Good luck. ^ ^ ^

Isn't it one credit per flight or 2 credits for a RT? I.e. eight roundtrips will earn 16 credits.

BIS EQM Miles 23,840
Miles Bonus
Prem Exec 23840

DEN Means the World Bonus (8trips=16 segs x 2 bonus = 32 segs =90K ) 90000
. BIS. + Triple (x2). + Prem Exec. + online. + DMTWTU
Miles = 23,840 + 47,680 + 23,840 + 16,000 + 90,000
