Did an SDC via the app and it prompted me to enter full credit card info for the $75 fee. Sort of annoying. Seems to me the app knows my credit card info for other purchases, so why doesn't it remember for SDC?

Not sure if I’ve seen it mentioned here, or if it’s even new, but You can use ApplePay to pay for tickets now bought through the app. Used the other payment methods link the other day to see if they might have by chance, allowed ETC use, and saw that option.

When will they get rid of the ridiculous pop-up "United data services are currently unavailable"?!?! Just put it in red text on the screen. Pop-ups are absurd and should NEVER be used in an application, period. You can't do anything else until you click OK.
This has been reported so many times and would be one of the easiest bugs to fix.

Did an SDC through the app last week - was prompted to enter my full credit card information to pay the $75 fee. My CC info is already stored in my profile and I can buy revenue tickets in the app without typing that info - why is the SDC process asking me to input all that info again?

Ability to change reservation on iOS app now
Some can be done in the app, but others take you to the desktop version rather than allowing it from the iOS.

New updates. Ability to change reservations. MP card, Club card now available in Apple Wallet.
I wonder if the LH lounge dragon will accept them as proof of *Gold, or will we still need a physical card?

I couldn’t change any reservations. Each of them just redirected me to the desktop site. Still handy, but...

Ill be at an MLL next weekend, though I doubt I’ll test there - while it was typical for MLL to always requests card for me when in Y in, maybe 2012 or so, it’s been years - a BP is all that’s been needed for the last few years - at least IME.
