Took the risk.
Okay thanks to the instructions on here I got the one-way option. I booked a ticket. Hopefully it will stick. I did get a confirmation e-mail from UA and all the regular stuff. My MP summary has the mileage deduction and shows
1-WAY N AMER-HAWAI BUSINESS
I'm going to wait a while before I book the other one-way (using BMI) to go with this.

whoa...i GOT it...
refresh with F5.
place the cursor above and just between the two "destination boxes"
click one-way as it refreshes
and even though the "one-way" sign disappears, there is only one box to put in dates...and one-way WILL pop up
WHOA.....wow.......wow.... nice

I'm surprised that UA hasn't said anything about it. It's a big deal. Now I can book a one-way ticket on my way out and then fly Jet Blue on my way back if I want to save money. (After all, I will be downgraded to 1K on Feb 1.)

There is something there but it does not work right.
Code:

Switched to Internet Explorer 8 and I saw the option. It took 20 refreshes by pressing F5 until I was able to click on the option. It does work!.

I'm using FF 3.5.7 and it appears just long enough for me to click the one-way option. I did not try and book a ticket however I did get to screen which looked like it would do so for 1/2 the miles of RT.
I guess we'll all just have to wait until Feb 1 and see if the option is official. I hope so, that would be ^^^ for UA.

So it appears that UA MP will have one-way awards but only on certain browsers and only for a few seconds at a time? That certainly "one ups" AA, for sure.

It's not live yet. IT is obviously working on it over the weekend, but people on here are seeing the work in progress.
