The flight from LGA to CMH takes me first to ORD (on the direct flight I want to book), then continues to CMS.

If I book the LGA to CMS for 10k miles and then simply don't get on the connection from ORD to CMS, what will happen?

Any consequences for using this trick?

Thanks
If it is just one way, you'll probably be ok. It will not work for round trip because UA will cancel all remaining flights if you miss any segment.
Also, as long as you don't plan to check any bag because UA will not short check your beg to ORD only.
