Look at different starting points. Last time I checked Japan and Korea were the best points. The base price depends on the starting points, taxes and fees depend on the routing. You could use miles to position there. You have one year after the first flight to finish the ticket.
Generally I find the award RTW are a relatively bad value (not sure about the UA program) and also very difficult to find space for. Paid tickets allow a lot of flexibility (free date changes, routing changes for a reasonable fee) and space is easy to find.
