You should be able to to do OMA-SAT (Layover-as many days as you want), SAT-CUN, CUN-OMA with United for 35K miles and about $80 in taxes. It is important that you search for availabiltiy segment by segment, meaning look specific dates for OMA-SAT first, then SAT-CUN, and last CUN-OMA. In other words, consider your trip as three one-ways. If you find availability for all three segments, you will need to book the three segments together through either United award engine or by calling United CS. If you have a United CC, you should see slightly better availability if you are logged in to your account.
