Airline fee $200/$100 reimbursement reports: UA only (2017-2019)
 

Regarding Registry, once I put funds into the registry, is there anyway to cash them out? (ie. buy GCs)? Is there any known method to get a reimbursement for the $200 credit? I utilized the Amazon GC trick via MPX last year, but looking for some other method for this years credit.

How to get $200 credit
 

Just realized after purchasing Amazon Gift cards thru MPX that this is not allowed anymore.

What's an option where I can get the $200 credit for 2017. I need to do this soon as my AF is approaching.

Does United airline allow gift cards? Any other options.

Have a look at the wiki post at the top of this thread.

Lol...
Thanks, completely missed that

Do the funds in the Travelbank ever expire?

Thanks,

Damn they make you work to get the $100 credit!

Doesn't really say much about how to utilize the funds in the "TravelBank". Can they only be used towards an United flight? Any other way to "liquidate" get cash or close to cash equivalent for the funds in the TravelBank?

afaik no

Looks like you (*) have to travel. :)

(*) or someone else

Should I put another $100 (PRG) on my gift registry now? Or wait to see if something better pops up (with United or on another airline) this year? The risk of course is that they could close the gift registry loophole like they did with MPX.

Only you can answer that. I personally will have no problems using the gift registry credit on UA over the course of the next year. Not sure how something better could pop up.

Anyone having trouble attempting to search for name in the gift registry? My name will not pull up ... last name or first/last name "Your search found 0 results." (ps. I have an unusual last name) I've put money past 3 years, and my profile shows I have a registry built along with history of deposits. I've also sent myself a link via the announcement, but that link just goes back to the name search box. Lastly, gift registry is turned ON.

I had the same exact problems yesterday (unusual name, existing registry, sent link that didn't work). But I just tried it again with the emailed link, and the search, and now (a day later) the search worked.

No way to fund the registry.
