I know theses phone agents are very reliable and we should believe All they tell us
but come on......
Putting your 'supposed' strange skepticism aside, UA had previously announced the switch for August 1, but a tech issue between UA and LH prevented the rollout.
Somehow I don't think a UA supervisor would volunteer the information and basically read through the internal bullet point memo to me. I was helping a reader redeem his SWUs and the agent suggested to wait til Sept 3 vs. requesting a paper cert since the odds of electronically clearing a SWU are far greater than waiting to clear at the gate. He did indicate it may be delayed a day or 2, but internally are being told a live date of Sept 3.
