Thumbs up used olci for return flight after checking-in for outbound flt but before taking it

i tried searching and couldn't find so here goes but if i'm having a bald moment, please close....

same day m/r tomorrow (10/14) oak-iad-oak
ua208 ex-oak 7:35am
ua227 ex-iad 5:15pm

checked in on-line at work this morning (8:30 pst) and got my redemption card as i'm using a paper u/g. no problem and i'll do the swap at oak in the morning.

checked my e-mail at home tonight and rec'd the reminder e-mail from ua about using olci and i noticed that it listed both flights so i got curious to see if i was able to check in for the return flight as well as i'm now within the 24 hour window where one can check-in for a return flight with an agent.

i went to olci and just below and to the left of my checked in flight was an option to show additional flights so i clicked it and lo and behold, there was my return flight and i was able to check in for my iad-oak return flight albeit with another redemption card as i'm using another paper cert but it did work.

now all i gotta do is take care of the swap at oak tomorrow morning and apologies but i deleted the e-mail and am not 100% sure of the wording of the "new button" but it is there just below and to the left of the first checked in flight
