Anyone know is United eCert 016XXXXXXXX numbers will work on the new site after 3/3? I also have a CO.COM eCert which is an entirely different numbering system.

If I have to redeem my UA eCert before 3/3 I will - and I'd hate to imagine what would happen if we have to have one manually converted to a CO format cert number before being able to use.

They are definitely going to honor all outstanding certs. My understanding is that they are going to handle them all online, but I'm not certain of it.

Site is back up. Playing around on the fleet page! Did a great job with it. Seat maps for every version of every plane in the fleet!

The preview site is meant as a test site right? The data in my account is all wrong.

i do like the seat maps but just found something curious about it. they announced that they would be keeping both the global business class and the businessfirst names for business classes. although on the seatmaps, all the PMUA business seats have been marketed on the seatmaps as BF. even on the PMUA recliner business class seats on the pre-refurb 772's. also on the 737's with domestic F seats they're marked as businessfirst. i'm guessing it's just a glitch and they'll fix it before launch, but i found that curious.

The preview site is pretty much what I expected. I got my new confirmation numbers for my flights after 3/3. It wouldn't acknowledge that I acknowledged a new departure time on one of them. It also said I had 0 miles >.<

Happy its still just a preview site right now

It's really disappointing to see the lack of vision in this site. The site is just the CO site with the word United plaster on it.

I am not a fan of the CO site... and wasn't really a fan of the UA site. You would think they could have used the merger to provide a new look and feel... and improved functionality perhaps?

Instead we are left with the CO site... functional, but lacking style and ease of use.

I guess they do not teach vision at Harvard?

Cannot disagree with you, BUT, at least it was not like when NW's website which was probably the best in the business gave way to that abomination that is DL.COM.

Do your "new" seat selections stick? They may stick within the preview site, but do they transfer over to your actual "live" reservation?

Not all accounts are able to sign-in

I was able to sign-in using my UA1K number and get my newly assigned MP alphanumeric number, but was unable to sign in for my mom's account using her OnePass account number even though it signs in fine on continental.com. Wanted to check her combined lifetime miles..oh well..

Is the new frequent flyer number on the preview site our new number? It's not my continental or mileage plus number. Should we be giving this to our travel agents for post 3/3 travel?

Isn't this what was expected all along? I'm sure the IT integration teams have a lot more back end stuff to architect and merge right now. That's a much larger task than reworking the site. The CO site isn't great, but it's much better than the UA site, IMO.

We'll see a new site soon enough, that I bet reflects the look and feel of the Hub site they've been pushing.

I hope that's the route they end up going in the long run. I really like the design of United Hub. What bothers me the most about CO.com/the new UA.com is on the main page and the MP page where the top nav bar is set to go across the entire window and the content itself is fixed width. It looks awful on my computers with large screens.
