Epic (Award) Flight Deals In Your Future - rescheduled for week of 5 August

Received an e-mail with the link as shown at the end of this post. Basically says week of July 22, a new 24-hour "MileagePlus" award sale to a different international destination will be announced each day. Hopefully not too many restrictions such as day of departure, min stay, etc. I am basically booked for the summer, but if the offers extend into 2025, I'm curious.

If I remember they gave some clues for the January sale like pictures of the five places that would be on sale. Paris and London were two of them. I don't remember the rest. Any hints this time around?

Let me break this down... the epic deal will just be them rolling back the cost to the level the previously jacked it up from..... 35k asia instead of 55k etc etc.

Sale prices on awards are meaningless without I inventory.

And I inventory is meaningless when the sale is only on X.

I checked this morning to see what the first "deal" was and it looks like they moved it to next week.

Changing the dates of this "big" promo without notice is a little odd.

Crowdstrike residue perhaps?
