Here are the facts:

1) Mileage Plus Explorer cardholder (if it matters in this case, other than free 1st bag and priority seating)
2) No UA status other than above card
3) Economy Plus Annual Option supposed to expire this month, but extended through the end of 2012
4) Booked tickets for March 2013 with miles ORD-KOA-ORD - 60000 redemption (20000 going out, 40000 return trip)
5) Was able to choose E+ seats on all segments of flights (at no additional cost)

Does this seem right? My Annual option expires before I am traveling. Do you think this is a glitch in the system, and I will loose the E+ seats when UAL notices this. I am afraid to call customer no service, in that They may say "NO - you cannot have the E+ seats" - Just like the "Soup Nazi" from Seinfeld..!

Thanks,

Rich
