After a few days of searching, managed to spot a SYD-SFO J reward in June. I was hoping to use VA points but given the partnership is pushed out a month I'll have to use my UA FF miles - of which I'm about 72k short :\
I'm happy to buy the miles, but had read they don't always land in your account right away, which most likely means losing out on the reward seat -- thankfully, for the first time I noticed you can FareLock a reward seat on points. Just paid only AU$20 to lock in the seat on points for 7 days.
Has anyone used this before as a way to lock in the fare while waiting to top up the FF miles? Gotta say I am fairly impressed they even offer this option for such a small fee. Well played UA, cannot wait for the VA partnership!
