So....Any way around what seems to be a 1-time purchase limit regardless of amount? Did $100, went back to do another $50 to round out my Amex credit and it’s only displaying my previous $100 purchase with no way to do more.

I made the purchase on 8/9. Perhaps I'll give it a few more days and try again.

I was able to fund my TB once during the promo and once after.
United had told me there would be no funding limits after the promotion, so my guess is that it's a glitch. I've reached out to UA media relations for comment.

I am not able to purchase it again either. I am only seeing the purchase confirmation from a few days ago.

It looks like they partially fixed the issue.
I was able to make another purchase this morning for $100 (yay!). However, when I log back in to make a third purchase (I still have $100 in Amex airline credit to use), it does the same thing as before where it shows my previous purchase and doesn't let me make another purchase.
