I'm trying to score 36,000 miles and 6k of spend before year end. I could book the business class ticket to Hong Kong but that costs me 8k. Trying to figure out my options here, including Award Accelerator.
Back when I looked at accelerator (only bought twice, and like RNE pre merger), yes it seems it was a percentage.
Note, you don't actually have to fly your chosen "trip" because you can buy accelerator and cancel "trip" under 24 hour policy. UA knows people do this, but are happy to take the ca$h for the miles.

Agree, this is where a Mileage/Dollar run seems like a no brainer. Perhaps a $2K extra to fly to HKG .... how about flying via NRT/HND, that may lower price v nonstop and get extra miles.
