It applies to full-fare United Economy, economy does not get as many points as business. All the info is on their website. Not 100% sure if that includes the cheap flights out at the moment, as technically you still are paying full fare.
This deal is only available on the higher price economy fares, plus business and first. Basically if you're not paying at least about A$2k or more then you're not getting any extra points.
Just checked… only applies to economy fares booked in Y, B, M, H and Q… the only people who book these sort of fares would be people booking at the last minute who desperately need to fly. With so many options available now to the US, not too many people would be buying these sort of fares, unless someone else was paying for it.
This offer is kind of like getting a free GPS when you buy a Rolls Royce…
Just be careful when booking with united, had a dispute with them as I entered 28 Jun but they delivered 30 Jun instead and won't fix it unless I pay US$150 in change fees.
Apparently it can be caused by using the back and forward buttons on the browser. Take a screen shot of your booking page or something.
What are "qualifying flights"? United offers generally only apply to full economy or close to full economy fares.. and will not apply to cheaper fares, like the $1000 arfares that have been around lately.
