same here. Called twice yesterday for 140k UA Hawaii ticket and failed at the last step. Was told that UA was updating their fare so Expedia couldn't get in.

Called today and got the same thing. Kept changing routings with the rep and finally got it through.

I had 237k pts. Booked 90k domestic biz thanks to the help from ialphx! Then booked 140k for Hawaii biz thanks to Happyfeet. Both trips were only $8 under the cap. I couldn't do it better without you guys. Even though I procrastinated and missed the 1pt=3cent deal, I really am glad I could drain my TYN account before 3/1. Thanks so much OP for putting up this post with step-by-step info, detailed cancellation policy for different airlines, and fellow FT'ers like Happy who shared their experiences here!^
