I've never seen Amex sell a bulk fare on United - and I was looking for them specifically to deal with the PQP earnings issues. They just won't do it. I've bought a dozen or so UA tickets from Amex and they all sell as published, and without the IAP, always at the same public price you can get from the airline.
