I am doing IAD-NRT-EWR-IAD in PE, with a mere 55 min in NRT before I head right back (not even long enough to enjoy ramen in the ANA lounge, wah). As a result of this short turn, UA only pulled one GPU when I requested upgrades to Polaris on both transpac legs.

Will UA grab a second GPU? I have plenty, that is not the issue. Just wondering if the system will eventually catch this, or if 1 GPU is standard for mileage run situations.

Mods, tried to search to no avail. Please merge if appropriate.
Yes, one GPU is enough. If you do IAD-NRT-IAD without the stop at EWR, you need two GPUs. I had similar experience with RPU for domestic runs.
btw, after Dec. 4, you will just need 30 plus points for the same trip. Cheers!
