Thanks, though according to https://www.united.com/web/en-US/con...e/default.aspx GPUs are good for intra-asia (except HNL-GUM, NRT-SIN and NRT-BKK) without a fare restriction.
In fact those same intra-asia flights are eligible for RPUs as well, though that would require 2 RPUs in each direction (one in the north america region, and one in the asia region) -- found that one out a few months ago on a similar itin.

Haven't heard of a 3 segment limit, but who knows. Although another page on GPUs does contain the disclaimer "other restriction may apply." Nice
