Please, please, please put me on the IN list! I don't want to do any work looking for any mistake fares, but as soon as someone finds a mistake fare after spending hours of work looking for it, please spend another few hours copy and pasting all the usernames into a bunch of PMs, waiting 30 seconds between each PM.

What, you think that's an unreasonable expectation? I know whose username I will forget to copy/paste next time I find a fare

That's because there were no changes to fares due to this... Fares have been standardized between UA and CO for a long time now. Even expecting any mistakes to be made was ridiculous.

I believe they were standardizing to PMUA's inventory mgmt system and away from PMCO's. In this process there very well could have been some inventory glitches that would have resulted in deep discounts. However, few if any were identified.

I suggest this thread be locked and we just list deals as we would normally in the MR deals forum.

I advocated this on Friday, several hundred meaningless posts ago. There just wasn't much probability of getting mistake fares out of this integration, and the "regular" mileage run forum would have been the perfect place to list them had we gotten lucky.

I couldn't agree more and feel the MR Deals forum would've been the best place to share any anomalies rather than using these pages to create private networks to instead bypass FT had any been uncovered.

I would've preferred that happen from the outset but am inclined to agree that this thread has run its course so will padlock it for posterity.
