I have 12 GPUs in my account, and haven't been able to use any for almost a year now since i started accruing them.
Mostly I'm flying from DUB, sometimes via LHR, to hubs in the US (SFO, ORD, EWR...).
Sometimes it feels almost pointless to have GPUs and i'm wondering if I'm doing it wrong :-(
The only trick is to be flexible -- dates, locations, and connections, whenever possible -- and search between gateway cities. If you can't find anything on DUB-EWR or LHR-EWR, try BRU-EWR or AMS-EWR or LHR-IAD or.. etc.

Note that you can also use your GPUs on Lufthansa.

Totally imaginary.
UA must have some complex seats, then, since all of the GPUs I've used this year have cleared at booking.
