United elite prepaid travel card?
I was reading up on it, the details are not out yet, supposed to be this month, my question is:
$5000 for IP, how long we have to use these 5000? does this have to be in one year or no expiry? meaning you can use this 5000 for rest of your life?
thanks

Not for the rest of your life
You have typically until the end of February of the following year to use the funds. Cannot buy someone else's tickets either.
Any amount left over after that will be refunded to you minus a penalty fee IIRC.

15. If You have a remaining balance over $250 on February 28, 2007 on your Card account, You will receive a travel voucher good for air travel on United, United Express or Ted for the first $250 on Your account and will receive a refund from United of fifty percent (50%) of Your outstanding balance above $250 less a $100 processing fee. Please allow a minimum of 12 weeks for delivery of travel voucher and refund.

Interestingly, I have called a couple of times--first time they said they did not know if the card is being offered and yesterday they said it will be but they do not know when---does anyone know specific date?
Also, does anyone know if you can use it for tickets on partners purchased through United.com?

Is UA prepaid travel card available?
I may travel a lot in the next few months, and was trying to get information on the prepaid travel card. Throughout Feb, the website said the prepaid travel card was no longer being offered for sale this year, and to return in Feb. 2007 (huh? that confused me). Today I checked, and it said the same thing, except to return in March 2007 (again, huh?) Does anyone know if UA is selling the cards this year? Is there anyone out there who has one? I know AA is still selling AAirpass.
