yes and no -- single set of policies and procedures for the customer and customer experience but the much of the employee base is still in two separate groups.

On Award Travel - Using Miles to Europe in J or F
I see that you can do a double open jaw on Star Alliance Awards. Can you also add a stopover to that?
Outbound USA1 - Europe1
Return Europe2 - US Hub (Stopover in Months) US Hub - Hawaii
Or would I only be able to do it this way as a single open jaw
Outbound USA1 - Europe1
Return Europe1 - US Hub (Stopover in Months) US Hub - Hawaii
Thanks,
Nissan

Will old CO drink chits (no expiration date) still be usable after tomorrow?

Sorry, bit lost in this thread.
Will OP function to book o/w *A reward flights online be available in new program, or is it going to be phone only, like in MP?

The underlying technology for the new booking system will be the previous Continental system, so short of a policy change, the functionality should continue to exist.

What happens to waitlists after the change?
Searched and couldn't find thread on this. Have CO issued international tickets, am mid-itinerary, and am on waitlist for reward upgrade. Do I need to call in again (from India) to be sure I'm still on the list after today? Thanks.

How To Locate New Pin
I have looked but cannot find the answer. Received my new mileage plus 1k packet in the mail but it did not contain the pin. When I requested from the new website I received a strange E-mail which was basically an error message.
Also, flew home yesterday from London and had some issues with the flight and was given a "Please Accept Our Apology" ticket. Tried to use the website given on the card but an error message also came up.

I haven't seen anything about MileagePlus Dining. Will my account automatically start sending miles to the consolidated MP?

Only
is drastic reduction in availability. Same routes that were showing last week as available [Saver Eco] on nearly every day during whole month [let's say July '12] now might have only one or two days with it available
Or maybe that is connected with transition and will get back to normal again? :fingerscrossed:

Error Message
When trying to sign in this morning (9:30A EST)
I kept getting the following error message
To access the site, your browser must support
128-bit encryption with a strong cipher.
Sure hope I don't have to upgrade any software
on all my different machines (several offices & homes)
Any help here will be greatly appreciated

United Club one-time passes
I know this is extremely early in the process of transitioning to the new site, but it looks like there are no more United Club one-time passes available for purchase online (at any price), but the new site clearly mentions their availability at club locations for $50. Is this just a hiccup, or are the days of $39 one-time access to the club over?
I may be in the minority, but I really valued those passes because they allowed me to have access to a quieter, cleaner environment when I anticipated delays or just didn't feel like sitting in the terminal. I'm not sure I'd buy them anymore if they were always $50, except in the case of a severe delay.
Any thoughts or insider knowledge on this?

United Club one-time pass
United will no longer sell a one-time pass on united.com. You’ll still be able to use any existing passes for entry into United Club up to one year past the purchase date.
What’s changing: As of March 3, you’ll be able to purchase one-time entry to United Club for $50 only at United Club locations.

Hi demkr, yes, any reservations that include your Mileage Plus number will automatically be credited to your permanent account number once we’re operating on a single platform.
Hi bmvaughn, until our systems are integrated, everything will continue to work as is does today. After that, we'll handle the mapping of account numbers for quite some time. For example, if a car company sends us your Mileage Plus number for a rental you’ve made, we’ll have this mapped to your new number for earning purposes. That said, you’ll be safe to change your number with any partners as well (but, only after our transition to a single system takes place).
Appreciate you sharing this GoAmtrak,. Since we’re not yet on a single system, between now and late first quarter of next year you can continue to use your Mileage Plus account number in cases like this. We’re diligently working with all of our partners to ensure any required changes are made to their systems as well. We’ll make sure this one is on our radar.
