It seems legit. And $150 savings is not nothing. I wrote back to him (at the united.com email address) and he responded right away.

BUT... I just hate calling someone in Mexico I don't know and giving him by CC info. Thoughts?
Sounds fishy here too.

Typically UA's trying to get >>>more<<< from customers through upsells, not less.

You may want to forward a copy of the email to [email protected] with a short explanation. There was a recent incident of a M+ account being compromised here MP locked my account due to "Fraud", Help {caused by UA error, access restored} and prudence suggest it may be wise to change your passwords (or consider a password manager like LastPass / 1Pass / etc.)
