And speaking of getting those points back... if they are put back into my United Explorer card, does that mean these 180,000 points can only be used for future United flights? I just want to make sure I'm doing all the right things before I pull the plug on our vacation. I think if I'm understanding right, due to this DOT thing, UA will NOT be flying to LIH until at least Oct 1, correct? Thanks for any clarification.
