These are the parameters I have used:

Awards/Upgrades
Method: Awards/StarAlliance
From: AUS
To: HKG
Date: April 15, 2014
Airlines: *A Star Alliance (All 31 Member Airlines)
POS: JP-ANA-SP1
Sort By: Connections
Seats: 1

Filter
Filter Results: Yes
Availability Required in Class(es): R

Power Search
Date: 16 Apr 2014
Range: 14 Days

I have not gotten any results. What am I doing wrong or overlooking? Is 'R' the correct class to be searching for?
A PM would be great, or direction to a particular post # in this forum as I am feel my question is probably a common one.

Thanks in advance!
To follow up on this prior post, I have found that to properly run this search I needed to:

Change the METHOD to [Awards-Upgrades/UA] on the 'Awards/Upgrades tab'. I think it defaults to [Awards/StarAlliance] -- or that is what I had selected.

After doing this, and running a new search I was prompted to enter my UA credentials and then I was able to run the search and check the 'R' inventory.
