Please be informed that the United Mileage Plus redemption is temporarily down due to some technical issues.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
I think they intentionly blocked the option because they do not want too many people to redeem UA mileage. Here is the reply from them I got:
"Thank you for contacting Member Services.
We sincerely appreciate your interest in the Redeem Points portion of the MyPoints Program. Due to high demand, united mileage cards are currently unavailable for redemption on the MyPoints Redeem Page. Please check back soon as inventory is replenished often.
Thank you for your support of the MyPoints program."
