I spoke to several agents here and they won't touch the UA certs saying I had to use them through UA direct, which sucks because, at least from here, their published fares are many hundreds of dollars more than what an agent can do what with overrides and all.
I may just make a stop in LAX or something and walk up to UA ticketing and buy a roundtrip to SAN or something on the spot.
