United doesn't seem to release X at T-3 anymore, so I'm not sure if this is possible or not. Does anyone have recent experience with SDC based on X-fare?
Can you SDC an award flight to non-stop UA flight, yes IF award space opens up -- and there is no guarantee of that.

BTW, there is no waitlisting in SDC.

BUT you can ask now to be waitlisted for the non-stop PEK-SFO. Probably a better chance of that than SDC.
