But perhaps that's what they intended, who knows.
I think UA would prefer the first 3 to be the 3 highest
Think an interesting twist would have been for UA to say the three highest tickets will earn the bonus at the close of the promotion. I’m assuming loads will still be “““light””” in Q1 2021 to put it generously and therefore cheaper tickets are not displacing higher fare tickets...in other words UA’s leaving $$$ on the table by not going after all business vs. late 2019 where they were discouraging cheaper tickets in favor more expensive ones as the LF was high.

Quick note on that - UA subbed a 738 for a 789 on a recent EWR > SFO flight for myself. See here for more info:
