I think I'll just do that for the rest of the year since I have my PQD and PQM for 1K already. Maybe they will fix some things before I start booking trips for next year and I'll see how I like AA in the interim.

By the way, I reported my issues to 1kvoice including screen shots of the price quoted by united.com and expedia for the same itinerary and got this non-responsive reply excerpted below:

Your comments are important to United and will be useful in our ongoing efforts to make your experience online as streamlined and as simple as possible.
I did not have trouble navigating the site. I had trouble getting it to charge a reasonable price as compared to expedia or orbitz for the exact same flights.

Way to alienate customers.
Yes, and explains why the united.com low price guarantee is no longer offered.
