No, that's why I "guessed."

But let me ask you, would you rather pay 467,000 points and fees of CAD $558.35 for a last minute J ticket on YVR-SYD, or 270,000 points (220,000 if booked by December 31) and fees of USD $110.30 + USD $100 for short notice ticketing - about CAD $247 all in?

I could be wrong, but I'm guessing that you'd choose the UA option, every time.
