I went to the next page and it showed the 140,000 required miles, taxes/fees, etc. Did not go further because it was not my ideal travel date (too early in the calendar) and because I'd have to transfer 140,000 Chase points - good thing I didnt do the transfer!
Must say that is frustrating. I usually use EF in conjunction with several mileage program websites and the LOT inventory seemed very consistently open on United.com so did not think much to check EF.
