The email I received says valid for travel until Dec 12.
But if you click on the link for the promo code, it says all travel must
be completed by Oct 31.

the usual AC IT screwups?
So which is it?

I just booked a transcon for November using the code and it shaved $75 of the fare.

It's Dec 12. I mistakenly entered Dec 15 and got the following error:

"The promotion code provided can only be used for travel from September 17, 2007 to December 12, 2007. Please review your travel dates."

I wish the call centre could just refund the 10% back on my Lat bookings instead of having to cancel them. But ~$50 savings for each 10 mins of trouble is too good to pass up.

Interesting! While in the middle of booking a roundtrip YYZ-YUL for next week using this code, the base fares all went up by $5 each, so my ticket is $10 more expensive than when I started booking it. Can you imagine going to buy gas and being told that the price went up mid-tank?

Also, anyone else notice, that you cannot request the "no checked luggage" discount either when using the promo code?

Thanks for the heads-up

I've been checking Vancouver fares for a trip in October, so this came at a great time. I saved over $100 for 2 T+ fares with which to play aerolotto.

Cheers

Check the UA forums - many there complain of a similar problem but worse, where when using a promo code for 10% off from a targeted e-mail, international fares seem to go up hundreds of dollars, making a fare with a 10% coupon well more expensive then just booking a fare without the coupon.

Yes I noticed that too - I was all set to save $3 on my day trip YVR-YYZ but never got the option.
