Bad news? - my pass I purchased for my flight tomorrow was just refunded to me.
I was upgraded just now, maybe that has something to do with it? But I most certainly haven’t requested a refund.

Does purchasing a wifi day pass count as an inflight purchase eligible for the 25% rebate for onboard purchases on the MP Explorer card? I know the day pass purchase is technically done on united.com, but was thinking the back-end transaction processing would be the same as if you purchased onboard the aircraft so Chase/Visa would be none the wiser.
If so, the pass could be an even greater value.

Question: confirming the day pass covers 24 hours from the start of activation of the 1st flight, correct? Some additional details and context below.
I have 2 "quick" flights on UA within 24 hours coming up next week, but they are on separate tix. If I purchase the day pass being from the 1st flight, in theory, it should work on the 2nd flight as well, correct?
I usually buy a monthly pass, as I often run into situations where I'd have 10-20 flights in a 30-day period, so no brainer spending 7,500 UA monopoly miles.
My most recent 30-day had just expired earlier this week, so I am in between (and also traveling on other airlines right now). I am not ready to start another 30-day period, since I have a bunch of UA flights in late March, which would be beyond the 30-day span.
