Said that if I took a chance and took the AC flight and didn't make the YVR-BNE flight, it was my problem, I'd have to pay my way back home and they wouldn't reaccomodate me since I was made aware that the connection time wasn't enough.
When I got to the airport the AC agent at SFO told me a different story so that is why I boarded.
So initially my concern was about not getting to BNE that day, where I had other flights, hotels and cars already booked, too late to cancel.
Next time ... just chill and get re-booked when things go wrong. There is no such thing as an MCT and an invalid connection when there is a flight delay. Being checked-in made the coupon not accessible which likely caused most of the issues. There are easy ways to solve this ...
UA will probably throw you a bone. Honestly, don't both with anything beyond that ... you are just wasting your time.
