Gold Stars on Fares Listed On United's Website?
I was just on united.com searching for a flight and noticed some of the fares had gold stars next to them. I've never seen this before, and I couldn't find any explanation for it on the page. Does anyone know what this means (if anything)?

I didn't enter a discount code. I was looking at DCA-LAS flights; the only flight that had the gold star was a connection through SFO, which was actually more expensive that most of the other choices.

I usually see these (no discount code) when it is a very cheap price for the class of service...ie. you search for BF and it then has GF highlighted and there is a * next to the price.
