Mine is also showing incorrect info on the amount of miles flown ,segments, etc. It's actually showing 2011 data.

It's also attempting to charge me a co pay for upgrades..

Won't be accessing it again until the integration

We'll see a new site soon enough, that I bet reflects the look and feel of the Hub site they've been pushing.
+1.

A phased approach
Initially, we’re focusing our efforts on the huge task of combining the two airline systems into one unified site. At first, united.com will resemble what you see currently when you visit continental.com. Later, we’ll be expanding our offerings and introducing new features and functionality to the website to further streamline your travel experience.

One weird thing I saw when checking out the preview site is that it claims I had a schedule change on one of my itineraries, but when checked out on both the UA and CO sites, it doesn't show any changes at all. Need to be concerned?

an internal test site -- not a test site for customers.

see above and numerous earlier postings on the data timing.

Mine did too. A flight changed by 1 minute. While the CO and UA sites still show the old time, other websites are showing the new time for my flight, so I think either mine's right or other external systems are able to view the new data as well while it's being tested.

For those tracking spend...the new website also seems to break out the taxes from the total fare. Nice when considering qualifying for GS

in post # 4 -- http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unite...l#post17973468

preview.united.com -- just remember this has not been released or annouced by UA for customer use.

appears to be nonfunctioning at the moment.

New name for preview site pss.united.com per http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unite...3-4-5-cpm.html

The number that you should see should be your pmCO OP#, and if it's not I would be concerned that perhaps you didn't properly link your MP and OP accounts. If you are certain that you did, though, then just attribute it to the glitches that everyone is reporting from all over the new site.

A seatmap for one of my ERJ145s shows EconomyPlus between row 2 and 9 - did I miss something?

If what you're seeing is actually labelled "EconomyPlus" then I think this is another glitch on the production site equating "preferred seating" (only accessible by elites, but no different from any other seat on the plane except for forward proximity) with E+.

I like how there's now a big banner on the top to clearly tell everyone that transactions conducted on the site will not be honored.

I'm kinda surprised it took them that long to add the banner to the site all things considered. At least they pay attention to FT.

I'm not entirely sure FT is the reason. If they put the site up for testing purposes and suddenly saw bookings running through the engine, or simply saw multiple logins from people who were not testers, they may have realized that the site URL got leaked and took action accordingly.
