I am also listed as GS
Apparently the Presidential Platinum bug on CO site at the beginning of the year still continues
Hope it will last
I have an interesting experiment. I tried to upgrade an IAH-HNL flight with 1 confirmable upgrade seat using a RPU which is allowed under new rule. It works. BUT, it doesn't reduce the R inventory to 0 according to both EF and PMCO website... I am not sure whether the transaction will be honored
Also, for reservations made after late January, it is not yet included in the new system and UA agent has no clue what I am talking about

Point #2: If only someone would post here that the site is loaded with stale data (as of December 31, 2011. Oh wait, I have. If only people would read.

Just tried to actually make a reservation using the preview site. (Just to see what was up, I would have cancelled with in 24 hours)
Was able to progress all the way through clicking "Purchase" and get an error, so I believe the preview site is not yet "live".

Anyway, I printed a screenshot. I'll fight for it if the only seat left is taken by 3/3...
The reservation records are synced till at least mid January. I have a PNR ticketed in mid January that showed up. However, my PNR made in late January has not showed up yet.
The EQM info are also synced at least till mid January. So is lifetime counter, it seems.
I could upgrade reservation and got a confirmation. But the upgraded PNR was neither updated on CO nor on UA site.

Point #1: Ill be almost certain it will not stick. The site is not live -- I changed seats for an upcoming reservation, and they didn't crossover.
Point #2: If only someone would post here that the site is loaded with stale data (as of December 31, 2011. Oh wait, I have. If only people would read.

I like that the front cabin of the domestic 772 (version 5 - 36 F seats / 312 Y seats) is billed as "BusinessFirst", http://pss.united.com/web/en-US/cont...77/200/v5.aspx.

Maybe they are running different test upgrade programs on the preview system. The airport does not use the preview system so you need to go by continental.com as mentiond in earlier posts.

Suggesting that the quality of the product is lower because you cannot get to something that you're not supposed to be using anyways is ridiculous.
