Begs another newbie question, how do I tell the difference there? The offer only says "upgrade". I'm assuming up-fare is not a term that United is going to dump on their website. I appreciate all the help as I continue to learn the ropes

I thought about this too. The upgrade is only for one way. The actual flight miles total are 2477 one way. So at 200% with the P fare, I'm doubling the flight miles one way to 4954.

Even if I'm doubling the miles incorrectly, it's still $0.08 cpm, which is considerably lower than the premier accelerator.
