Interesting points:

1. The expiration dates are the dates actually posted to my account and not the actual dates earned. In my case, two extra months of life. Seems logical because I did not have effective use of the Upgrade Instruments during the period of time that they were withheld from my account. I was ready to argue if UA had tried to backdate the Instruments and I am somewhat surprised that they didn't try to do this. Maybe they realized the kind of blunder they created in an attempt to reduce mileage earned with a "shrinking globe".

2. Like a number of others here, I received 150% mileage bonus for NC upgrades that cleared on PMUA prior to 3/3 and showed up as Z in my account summary. These bonuses have not been corrected. The aggregate amount of my "mistake" bonuses is in excess of 15,000 miles, enough to award me 2 additional RPU's that I should not have received credit for. Maybe a decision has been reached to "let these slide". Otherwise, it would seem to be a rather lame approach to go back in, correct the mistake Z bonuses and then take away GPU's and RPU's. But maybe that is just another example of the inept IT department trying to fix the problems (that they created in the first place) at the new UA.
Thanks for the encouraging note. I still have 2 GPUs that have yet to be reposted after two months. I'll keep watching and hoping that someday they will reappear (probably on the day they expire
