I'll requalify 2P for next year very easily now based off this promo (UA is my backup airline to a certain Atlanta-based airline...).

I have a trip which I booked Monday in C to HKG and back. I read and re-read the T&C and it doesn't look like the ticket has to be purchased after the announcement. Although I could cancel and rebook with no fee/penalty, I would like to avoid this. Anyone see anything I may have missed?

Does the fact that the registration period is September 3 to December 15 mean that everyone who's registering today should make sure to re-register tomorrow?

Whoo Hoo!! 1K for the 1st time. Nice surprise UA ^
By my spreadsheet I'll end the year with ~140K. Now to decide if I should go for 150K and the extra SWUs.

hmmph. SOME of us just flew a TATL round trip this past weekend. 
On the other hand, my 5-month-old grandson will make 2P based on the doubling of his ORD-SIN trip home later this month.

The fact that this is the second time this year UA has offered DEQM and the fact that it runs almost to the end of the year shows how bad things are this year.
Essentially, UA has thrown up its proverbial hands out of frustration in hopes of keeping it's loyal/elite flying base when nobody is flying.
