Strictly speaking yes

Extending FFC has been a dynamic, changing situation. It is clear UA is tightening up in this area. What worked a month or two ago no longer works and no way to predict what will work next month or next year.
That said, it appears you can presently extend an FFC by booking a flight before the FFC expiration and then doing a flight change to a date further out.

Suggest you read the last month of posts to get a feel for the situation and some recent successful approaches.. And post your experiences here for others to track.
