...Well there's your first problem. Sunday Asia-US is always a difficult upgrade. Probably the toughest day of the week. Nothing suspicious about that (unless you consider UA wanting to actually sell high demand BF seats "suspicious").
That has nothing to do with anything. What I know is I haven't flown Y TPAC since I made 1K, and that's 2 or 3 RTs per year.
I couldn't find anything on either Saturday or Sunday returning from SGN-IAD. Maybe all flights started with R0. And if my search techniques aren't ideal, please let me know how I can improve. The purpose of this forum is to learn and that's what I'm trying to do. I've searched SGN-IAD on United.com in expert mode, looked at the details tab of each and every flight what has a GPU eligible fare. I'm not sure how else to search.
If GPUs are offered as a hard earned "benefit", why does United make them so difficult to redeem? You have to admit it's frustrating.
