I just came to read this forum. This is exactly what happen to me even one year has passed. As of Feb 2007, I called thankyou network number 1-877-7REDEEM to redeem a flight to Hawaii (IAD to HNL) in June of 07. My only request is that I want to fly UA since that's what my girlfriend will fly. However, no such luck. They only offered me the cheapest flight they see in Expedia.com, which is Ted, in combination with ATA. I am so disappointed since I also read the flyer "no blackouts, any airline, anytime" when I applied for PP elite. So, I decide to change my plan to use my point to book a tix to asia instead during Christmas. However...when I read the post below:
