I'm not too clear on how United works regarding their reward system, but is there any chance they might decrease it back to 30k or do you guys think it'll always be at 57.5k now?
Welcome to FlyerTalk!
30K is a Saver Award. 57.5K is an Everyday Award, which has greater availability but at a higher cost.
The Everyday Award on that route can go as high as
70K miles. It's possible that UA will open additional inventory at 30K. It's possible that the 57.5K will be 55K tomorrow -- or 70K. It all depends upon how well UA thinks they'll be able to sell the flight, and that can change from day to day or even from hour to hour.
It's also possible that the Everyday Award will disappear and there will be no award availability on that flight at all. (If you have elite status, or a qualifying United-branded Chase credit card, such as the MileagePlus Explorer Card or the United Club Card, this can only happen if the entire flight sells out).
Hope this helps.
