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?

This is an Even if.....Even if it was legitimate - there is no way I would call Mexico and give my CC info over the phone. I would call UA reservations, relay the offer, and tell them to process it.
