However, this stupid rule having to send GPUs back and forth apparently if the upgrade gets denied or if your travel plans change is absolutely ridiculous. Are we still stuck in the 80s or 90s without the internet? Back to the stone age!!!
Gimme a break - another change I will like, yea, sure... as much as everybody likes root canal treatments. I am speechless.
While I agree with your general displeasure, a few points to make:
1. If the 4 flight minimum is an issue for you, then you might not be the most profitable customer and therefore your concerns may not be of greatest interest to UA. UA should be more interested in hearing from pax who fly mostly UA, not those who can barely manage to fly UA. No offense intended. Just being realistic.
2. This isn't the stone age, we're just sticking solidly in the 70's and 80's. If this were the stone age, then they'd force you to put the GPU on a boat and send it by ship then by horse drawn carriages. No, instead, you can go to your local FedEx office and pay $40 or more to send it back. That's definitely very 90's.
