And how will it work if you use miles and money? Surely, United won't keep 30,000 miles plus $400-600 for just clearing the domestic leg.

Not sure if this should be asked in GPU forum or PS forum. Mod may move.

Thanks.

Since PS is already "elevated" service, I'm guessing your GPU is considered used if you clear JFK-LAX but fail LAX-SYD, for example. Would love to be proven wrong though.
