1. My expiration date is 17-April-26. Does the flight need to be taken before then or only booked before then?
2. Since the credit is only good for trips that cost over 10,000 miles, is that based off of the entire trip or just one segment?
1. On mine it says "booked by 12/4/2026", which is the expiration date for mine.
Click on the 10k award credit in My United, select dates for a test reservation and hit "find flights", there is a pop up which will tell you this.
2. I would assume one segment (outbound/inbound), which is usually how they are priced.
