On FB they told me to be flexible with redemption dates. How funny…

Other users commented however that they don`t provide any specific replies to any query, so let´s see where that goes.

Via twitter, they at least asked for additional details.

Also received a very generic response... "award tickets subject to availability"

Have already replied, we'll see how it goes...

Sounds promising. I think we should send more emails - what address did you send your email to? Can you also post a brief description of what you emailed ? Thanks.

I emailed [email protected] I basically told them that I thought that they have a technical problem in their system for searching United award availability...specifically domestic flights. I told them how all the other star alliance members are showing United award availability for the flights that I'm searching except for Lifemiles.

And yes, they've been working on the system. I can now see UA direct flights, for instance FRA-EWR, (apparently if there are other flights by other carriers on the same route, though I haven't tested this thoroughly). still can't book them.
And still don't see EWR-IAH.

PS After sending a detailed email about the UA problem to Brian, my new dedicated customer service representative on Facebook, he is going to "escalate" this. If ever you wondered why they were in the top box for customer service at Freddie, too....

Air Canada availability also isn't showing up. Hopefully they are fixing this as well as the United problem.

I was able to see the gummy bear on united's sites, but not on Avianca's. All legs were United flights.

Here was their response:

Thank you very much for reporting to us the inconveniences when booking flights through our website with United. We have addressed the situation to our internal area for further advice and they are currently investigating it. At the moment, we do not have a specific time frame when this matter will be resolved, reason why we kindly ask your valuable time while the appropriate department manages the case.

We appreciate your comprehension in advance.
