BIG BUZZ:
United had a huge OOOPS today! United award seats were displaying at 4 miles for roundtrip travel between the US and Hong Kong. This mistake fare light up the miles and points airwaves today! I read about it after the deal was dead. It lasted a matter of a couple hours before they shut it down. The deal is currently dead! Read more details here:

Did anyone of you get tickets? I would have loved too but too much travel already booked and planned.
United just came out with a statement that these 4 mile awards will not be honored and the 4 miles refunded.
Not surprising! I couldn’t imagine they would eat the money on all these tickets. What recourse do ticket holders really have anyway.
my tickets are still showing with a confirmation #, charged my credit card $162, no miles were debited from my account. still hoping!
I’m hoping for you too!!!
TPG has a great perspective on this deal http://thepointsguy.com/2012/07/how-to-best-handle-getting-in-on-an-amazing-deal/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+thepointsguy+%28The+Points+Guy%29
