PlusPoints question
Following a flight disruption, I received a travel voucher and an extension of 40 expired PlusPoints until 4/30/20. I have a trip in early April where I have a confirmed upgrade using PlusPoints that expire 1/31/21.
Is there a way I can get PlusPoints used for the upgrade (expiring next year) refunded and swap the upgrade to the PlusPoints expiring end of April?

I would think a call to UA would accomplish that.

They have done this for GPUs in the past, at least.

Calling 1K line should work, assuming they can still do it.

Call MileagePlus. You may have to HUCA if not successful.
