Put another PNR on hold awaiting the purchase of miles...to travel in 12 hours.

Then used the award accelerator to buy 60,000 miles - got an error on four credit cards x 3 tries each - $13,000+ (they say one transaction went through- but can't give me the miles)

So, now I have credit that's not available to use and no miles and no PNR for travel today...

4 hours on the phone with UA so far and no success

Checked my online statement and two of them are now posted rather than pending. Aggravating cause it means calling them again!
