If the DidItClear website is going to be effective, it needs more members and trip upgrade data!
Please visit https://www.diditclear.com/ and include your trip experience with CPU's, RPU's, GPU's and any other means of upgrading available on United.
The better the data, the better the search results and experiential history.

I'm more than a little irked that UA unilaterally revoked some of the benefits Million Milers used to enjoy (including one that was promised for life) so my take on the value of Million Miler is a little skewed these days.

The New United
Mrs. EX and I have 8 GPUs left which of course expire Jan 31. I called and asked if they would extend two for one day, so that we can apply them to a flight on Feb 1 at 8 a.m. Not possible

HUACA... many reports of extensions granted to FTers. No harm with calling then calling again until you get the positive nod.

Will the R space vary on the same flight leg if the flight before it is slightly different?
I'm looking at a flight to HKG that would be NYC-ORD-HKG....on one itinerary it shows R4 for ORD-HKG with a 3 hour lay over coming in from NYC. But a few spots below that the same ORD-HKG flight has R0 and that would be like a 1:45 lay over flight coming in from NYC.

hypothetically let's say you have two options that when you search by segment you would see:
1. NYC-ORD on flight 123 with R=5
2. NYC-ORD on flight 234 with R=0
and ORD-HKG on flight 456 with R=4;
when you search for NYC-HKG, option1 will show for both segments that R=4 (the minimum across the two flights); option 2 will show R=0 (the minimum across the two flights).

GPU on mixed class itinerary
If I book a ORD-LAX-SYD flight on UA, in the following classes:
ORD-LAX (G)
LAX-SYD (V)
would I still be able to use A GPU on the LAX-SYD sector, or would the non-GPU eligible G sector screw up the whole booking for a GPU?

I applied GPU's for the round trip SFO-IAH-LIM trip. Upgrades for the IAH-LIM segments have been immediately confirmed. But the status for the SFO-IAH segments are "Upgrade requested". When would it be conformed or denied?
