In most cases, the Global Premier Upgrade will be considered used if any segment of an itinerary is upgraded or flown. However, for travel which includes segments in United BusinessFirst or United Global First, the Global Premier Upgrade will be re-deposited if the United BusinessFirst or United Global First segment(s) could not be upgraded.

There is no similar verbiage on the RPU page. I think the protection was put in place for people expecting a product better than dom F. If you get dom F using RPU for 1 leg, you've 'bout gotten the value of it, assuming it wasn't a 75 mi RJ ride.

Tks to wtigerFF & UA-NYC for the affirmation, and to the mod for getting this into the right thread. There's so much kerfuffle on the TODs and UGs in general that this improvement was missed by me....
