Not that I would actually do this, but after OP takes the flight, I wonder if the refund will still be available due to the IT glitch.
We have US-AU MPA trip coming up and there have been several schedule changes since we booked 6 months ago. When I made a change online because .bomb changed us to an undesirable pair of flights home, it refunded us all of the miles. Thankfully the next change, 2 weeks later, UA priced it as 800k miles (200x each way for 2 people) and the ticket is properly paid for.
Trust me, I would have loved a free RT in J to AU, but preferred to not have any problems WHEN (not if) UA realized they made a mistake, including possibly our seats being given away.
