Will that really work? I might actually come into this situation in the next few weeks.

I tend to doubt you'll come into this situation depending on your definition of "few weeks" - from the UA Website on the new rule:

"This policy is for travel exclusively within the 50 United States, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands and Canada and applies to tickets purchased on or after February 4, 2008 for travel on or after May 5, 2008

I'm guessing there might be some leniency for a week or two after May 5. At that point, you can always ask. But unless you're really lucky, you're not gonna like the answer you get.
