Looks like the party is over, UA isn't returning any award results for SFO-HKG for me =/ A shame, I was able to see the 4 mile price but didn't pull the trigger. Best of luck to everyone who got in

Anyone think we have any DOT protection here given what has happened for the KE F RGN fares, the SQ redemptions?
I did pay using currency (miles) and I did pay taxes and also received a ticket number. I will agree to deduction of full miles to my account which will yield -3,000,000 balance...
Let's see what happens. This is karma for UA clawing back their miles.:-:

Normally I'd say this is an easy fix, sort there bookings by extremely low number of miles or something, but given the problems UA IT has been having, I have my doubts.
Not sure how this will play out, but I certainly think those who book it w 4 miles and later get dinged for the full amount probably can't complain much, at least not in the fashion of the promo UA bungled

This is the side of FT that embarrasses me. We talk about UA's loyalty of its best customers. Does this practice really make us ideal customers?

Definitely dead. One can't even see any flight availability to HKG and no connections with HKG are showing either. Looks like they have blocked HKG from the award engine as destination and transfer point for now. I've cleared cache, signed out and back in...same results. Party has got to be over.

Perhaps this was all a guerilla marketing campaign to advertise United's low surcharges for Asia awards? A refreshing change from the oneWorld criminals...
