At a minimum, United should allow a post flight substitution of the GPU with an RPU or miles. And I can't believe they will potentially keep MP award upgrade consideration (30k miles plus up to $600). Few will want to upgrade PS service without the international leg clearing in advance. UA Insider said the upgrade rules won't change. Hope they make a change here.
