Happy 2017!
Please use this thread to post or to follow Economy Fares which are 'Good Deals' but where the cost per mile is more than 3-4 cents per mile, which is the usual upper limit for what is considered a true 'MR Deal'.
A few requests for posting in the thread:

I discovered a lot of Google (UA) fares are in fact not available on UA.
What happens is when I attempt to ticket I get a perpetually spinning thing and then....nothing.
When I then go to UA to attempt to ticket the fare is a great deal higher.
Is it just me? Or is UA subverting Google?
Should I be clearing my cache every time? It could be obvious I am MR shopping...
It also appears sometimes there may be no mileage accumulation (without a warning that this is a BE fare---and these are G and K fares in some cases) OR the mileage accumulation may be ridiculously low, like 600 for what should be 2500 miles.
I'm mostly using Firefox, which has a lot of glitches these days. Should I use another ISP?

It's Google's cache that's out of date.
Mileage accrual estimates have been broken forever. I wouldn't trust it. Plan on earning your RDM rate based on status. The only fare that doesn't earn PQM/PQD that you can book directly from United is N for BE. G and K will accrue normally.
