UA MPW999 - UA Will Make Exception to Ticketing Clause for United DEQM Promo

yyzprincess · Mar 25, 09, 9:47 am

My contact in UA just informed me UA will waive the Ticketing Clause.
To get this exemption, you have to call MP and they will sign you up with a special code which will allow tickets issued before 19th March to qualify for Double EQM Promotion.
It is these gestures that keep me flying the Friendly Skies. Thankyou United

Say "Manage My Account"
Enter MP number (speak or Touchtone)
Enter ZIP code (speak or Touchtone)
Say "More Options"
Say "Register for a promotion"
Say "MPW999" or something like "M as in Mary, P as Paul, W as in W, the number 9, the number 9, the number 9"
It will say "Double EQM Ticketing Exception MPW029"
Say "yes" to confirm
It will confirm registration

She first verified that I was signed up for the DEQM promo (a requirement) before applying the ticketing date waiver!

Dear mrzim:

Thank you for contacting United Airlines Customer Relations. I appreciate the opportunity to be of assistance.

K-class fares do count towards the Double EQM promotion (MPW029). In general, any published fare which qualifies for Mileage Plus credit, qualifies for the Double EQM promotion.

mrzim, as a 1K member you are one of our most valued customers. Thank you for your continued support and loyalty to United Airlines.

Regards,

United Airlines Customer Relations

This sounds awfully fishy. Great if it is true though
I think all of the UA FTers are currently tying up the 1K line

panjfj · Mar 25, 09, 9:51 am

is this only a 1K benefit?

It is 100% true. It became available yesterday. UA was getting overwhelmed with change requests.

Code MPW999. Enjoy!

Something tells me the hold time for Mileage Plus is about to spike.

jgsx · Mar 25, 09, 9:58 am

A special unadvertised DEQM promo came out yesterday. It allows DEQM on tickets purchased before March 19, with travel dates between March 19 and June 15.

You must call Mileage Plus Customer Service and request promotion MPW999. I hope this saves people some change fees!

thanks OP...how'd you find out about this?

got MP to do this just now and no wait time yet. makes me super happy with united right now...but i guess what to do with the tickets that were canceled/reissued? glad i only did that for one itinerary...im guessing theres nothing we can do with those?

I just called and the agent said "Oh, is this already on Flyertalk!"

LOL!!!!!!!!!

btatting · Mar 25, 09, 10:06 am

I am with MP right now, it sounds like my original registering under MPW029 needs to be changed to MPW999 to get the pre-booked mileage credit. He is not sure, but assures me that I'll be okay for my trip tomorrow. I'll update more when his boss gives him an answer.

EDIT: He was able to change me to MPW999 (and my wife as well), so this seems to be a lock. We'll see in a few months if it worked!

Does anyone have any idea what this does with itineraries we already rebooked? Im guessing we'll be SOL...

newself · Mar 25, 09, 10:12 am

I just called and it worked. MP allowed my previously bought itineraries to qualify for the DEQM promotion. I have 4 itineraries during this promotion.

I'm used the outbound in Feb but my inbound is next month (IAD - SYD), will this promo work?

entropy · Mar 25, 09, 10:16 am

that adds 18k to my tally

It is kind of strange that they took the DEQM promotion of their front homepage (at least as of 12:16 PM EST). Maybe they are fixing the terms
