United has changed the rules on E tickets
United has changed the rules on E tickets. I am not sure if this should go here so I'll also post under United also.
I was looking at Unted e-tickets today for a flight to SYD. At the bottom of the page it states " E-Fares are not eligible for online booking bonus miles. Only standard Mileage Plus flight miles will be earned upon completion of an E-Fares flight.."
I phoned in and was told that NO status miles were given. Isn't that a slap in the chops?
The fare to Sydney was a S fare booking class which is eligible for upgrade normally, but not on E-fares.
Looks to me that anyone booking E-fares are going to lose big time.
I phoned into United and checked on a regular fare to SYD same dates. I got a fare in W for a total of $910 including all taxes, upgradeable, 15% discount cert applied making the cost lower than the e-fare with no restrictions.
I am not sure if anyone has posted this before or even if any one is aware of this change. Now you are. Be careful.
Regards,
Robert

Clarification and discussion is going on in this thread in the United forum. As a result I'm going to close this one here.
