Wifi Day Passes -- UA website showing exceptional value
Not sure if this is new, but in the last two days I noticed for a tcon this week both legs (they are separate reservations) are showing promotions for a $5 wifi day pass. One way is a red-eye so skipping that one as hopefully I will be asleep, but for my 4:30pm return EWR-SFO thought it was a great value and purchased it. Given this seems to be closer to $30 the last few times I have been onboard thought I would share. Hopefully more of this stuff to come.

I had a 3-hour UX flight. I paid $16 to GoGo to get some work done over the company VPN. What would typically take me 20-30 minutes at home took 2.5 hours since the wifi kept disconnecting.
I e-mailed GoGo expressing my displeasure.
GoGo e-mail #1: We can offer you a coupon for another free wifi session for your next flight.
My reply: No.
GoGo e-mail #2: We have processed your refund of $16.
I just wonder how many people stop at e-mail #1.

Showing $10 for my upcoming EWR-LAX, no offer for a separate LAX-EWR reservation.
How does this work anyways - if I buy it, do I get a code to redeem when I'm ready to redeem?
this is how it works:

I'm hoping that it will work on an earlier flight in the day on a separate positioning flight I have, but thanks for posting

Where on the manage trip page does it show up?
I don't have an offer for my next upcoming trip in early Nov, paid F. I just have an award accelerator offer. I'm guessing it isn't for every reservation. Or I'm just incredibly dense and missing something but I hope that's not the case!

I don't have a UA wifi package so this was news to me. I see $5 as well on my trips, SFO-EWR, thanks so much OP for posting this. Excellent value indeed, and would not have known!
It's right above the flight info, you can't miss it. You probably don't have the offer if you can't see it. Looks like based on this thread, it looks like mainly targeted to transcons/longer flights
