If you are not checking your rez several times a day right now, you are asking for trouble
Having decided to stay off the plane until 3/25, I am doing OK. They somehow cleared all my SWU upgrades after re-synching a couple of reservations for the next few months today, which was nice of them; I had been checking them over, pulled the trigger this morning and called the old UA 1k number. Put in my OP on the phone, and got through in a minute or two. Seeing several glitches here and there on the site - like dates for award activity listing by month instead of year/month, so 12/11 activity lists before 2/12. Very glad to have decided to defer all travel for a few weeks. On the whole though, I am feeling pretty lucky right now.
Galling to see Y/B gov fares getting upgrades, when I was looking at a B rez for August that wasn't triggering an upgrade while pricing out at 4 grand, give or take. Overall, trying to be patient.
