What is "F5" supposed to d:o? My keyboard has no such key (Macbook). I did try to reload (and shift-reload to force it) the page - with no success... then I tried Safari (I'd tried Firefox & Chrome earlier) and I was prompted to authenticate my account and then I saw the offer!

I'm glad you brought that up. This really has me curious because when I sign in it says that my TravelBank account balance is $0 (it's not). So I wonder if they'd have two separate accounts running.

FWIW, my charge today posted as "UNITED ELECTRONIC TICKETNG" so I'm d:(ubtful that it will trigger the Platinum card fee rebate (it used to). I'll post again if it does.

It's just not synced up, but when you fund it, it gets added to your regular TB balance.

that would be nice :) But I doubt it ;) Still, TB funds are easy to use, so no concerns buying at this 9% discount from my end. Will definitely do this. Need to think about if we should buy 2x$1k.

It used to post like this in the old days as well. When it came through ultimately there was no ticket number and it triggered the credit. We'll see I guess if they fixed that loophole. Hopefully not!

There are six denominations you can choose from, $50 to $1,000.

Has anyone had success logging in and purchasing? I was ready to buy $1000 but I keep getting an error log when I log in. Thank you!

Thanks, I saw it on your Twitter feed.. I read both articles that you posted and I tried for $250 in one shot. I’ll report back in a few days… Hopefully with good news

As covered on my blog, United media relations has told me that this will be an option after the end of the 10% promo!

Should work just fine, glad to see United bring this back!

pulled the trigger and bought $1k + $100. Should be able to use the bonus at least till early March for late 2021 travel.
