The refunded miles have hit my account (took only a few hours). That's probably a good sign. The refund of the taxes haven't but I think that's normal.

there's movement! two new line items posted tonight:

2012 EQM conversion to PQM
2012 EQS conversion to PQS

things looks to be correct in my account up through march 1.

still nothing for flights this week.

and i'm curious to see what happens (or doesn't) for the segment where a late UA flight caused a misconnect and UA rebooked me on CX. :D

FYI for MM companions traveling soon...

I called Premier CS and in the auto system, cited significant other's MP#, then asked for "Mileage Plus", then asked for "agent" and "agent queue". No wait, got Jeffrey, and he set things straight for me. I'm traveling on 3/11 and I told him my status was shown as approved after nominations in Oct/Nov. I explained we were both told in Jan that it would be effective 3/3 and that it has now been pushed back and we were concerned because we booked all these tickets for me to travel by myself and I didn't want to pay bag fees, etc. He put me on hold, clickity clack, and in 5 minutes, changed my status to reflect my significant other's for the MM companion sponsorship.

DONE deal!!! I'm so thrilled. So, if anyone is in the same boat, try that. :) HTH!!!

This appears to be true for me as well. Pre-merger UA EQM's now showing + flights from 2/29-3/1, but nothing post-merger.

Anybody else having problems using an e-cert on CO.com?

I keep getting "! The Offer Code for the eCertificate you are using is incorrect. Please re-enter. If the problem persists, contact the eCertificate issuer for assistance." :confused:

System is trying to charge for E+ from HKG to SFO and SFO to HKG for a Premier Gold MM flyer. D:

IME, sometimes it may take many days for the miles refunded.

Once, after a week, it still didn't show up. I had to call.

What a pain. :eek::eek:

I am exhausted. Flight does not get ticketed with an error message stating that my credit card cannot be verified. Needless to say, bank states they did approve the transaction, but United never terminates the transaction. This is getting terribly annoying. We need to book flights, and just cannot figure out whether flights will be ticketed anyway, or what is going on.

Calling by phone does not seem to be an option, the one time I was lucky enough to talk to a human being was just told "sorry, I cannot do anything differently".

So anyone still running into this issue? How did you cope with it? Would be nice to know if UA can really not execute transactions with certain financial institutions, or whether their problem does not have anything to do with the cards ...

Switching to AA/DL is becoming very attractive but would still give UA a chance if they manage to get me a ticket ... Really I don't have all this time to spend on the phone...

What itinerary are you trying to ticket? I've booked about 3 itineraries on March 5 and didn't have any trouble at all but it was nothing fancy, just LAX to SFO with a UA credit card.

Thanks for the info!

I bought Z fare from SFO to Europe and back. One way, I upgraded to F. It is still in F. The other way I didn't upgrade -- my seat is gone and it says I have an economy class ticket! I can only select seats in coach!

To get this fixed, I am listening to recordings tell me how important my call is on the phone line (btw, as a 1K, the voice jail process is much, much worse than before, another confirmation of the correctness of my decision not to bother with 1k anymore). Unfortunately, reading some earlier comments, it looks like my attempt to call will not get answered within a reasonable time frame.

Hopefully this is a known bug, but the thread is too long to search back through it.

My initial experience with long haul paid F post March 3, a flight yesterday NRT-SFO, is that there is global services and everyone else is slum.

Does this usually happen with CO? Should I go ahead and check in? Thanks.

Yes -- If I remember correctly, this happened to me during the HNL-EWR segment. You have to check-in to get waitlisted.

Please contact a United representative at 1-800-300-1547 for assistance." I've tried to call UA here in BKK but either get disconnected or the line is busy.

Try using skype and call the 1-800 number?

Spent 40 minutes on the phone to the US on my dime, long story short, the last flight coupon somehow got dropped. Agent had to manually add the segment back. What's strange is my itinerary was correct, but sometime since March 1, the last segment dropped off the receipt. This is pretty worrisome.

I entered all the check-in/passport information and when it was time to print the boarding passes, the webpage stated that I need to complete check-in at an airport kiosk. :td: What's the point of checking in online if you they won't let you?! What a frustrating mess...

Richard, try calling from Skype - there is some regional routing BS on the UA call centers BTW: I just called 30 mins ago for an Intl segment issue to YVR and I got a live person in under 2 mins.
