This was an award tix where the miles came from an UA elite, right? Don't elite benefits pass onto the reservation regardless of the actual pax's status? Or is "passed on benefits" no longer the case? I haven't been an UA elite for a long while.
No; that stopped several years ago. In theory, anyway.
Even then, I would have expected the struck-through price, with the text saying "we'll waive these fees as long as you have Premier status on the day of travel"
