Note that, like most recent UA award sales, these prices are only good for saver economy. There's no discount for saver business.
(As an aside, anyone looking for midweek saver business travel to HKG, your ship has come in: R9 IN6 I5 for ORD-HKG, Tuesday, Sep 18. Perhaps the more astonishing thing was that there was a connecting AUS-ORD flight with I inventory too. Admittedly, it was a Monday evening flight requiring an overnight stay, and just R3 I1, but domestic I inventory is pretty rare...)

We were told that these reduced price award tickets can't be changed, even for 1ks. Any changes, no matter how minor, will trigger a complete reprice at the higher mileage rate (80k instead of 64k). We couldn't even change to a better routing but on the same day, with same origin and destination. Not happy about this

I see KC's point about this restriction (no free changes, no matter how minor) being stated within the T&C, but it's pretty harsh, in my opinion.
Some of the flights are on other carriers, so I don't think SDC is even an option.
Maybe a helpful check-in agent could change it?

This is good to know. We booked a flight to AKL during the sale, but once we started planning our time there we realized we wanted to start on the south island. I wondered if I could pay the change fee to add a domestic flight so we could have the protection of having it all on one ticket, but now I have my answer. I guess we'll do a separate booking for AKL-ZQN and cross our fingers that there are no significant delays getting to AKL.
