Welcome to Flyertalk Kaygee.

Cross-posting is generally frowned upon here at Flyertalk. SMF Rider has given you a detailed response to your post in the SPAM forum. So I'm going to close this here.

For future reference I would suggest you post specific airline questions directly in that airlines forum. In this case, the United Mileage Plus forum here on Flyertalk.

Regards,

Flipside
