No transaction is complete, and MileagePlus will incur no payment obligations to you, until MileagePlus verifies all gift cards associated with such transaction.

Upon MileagePlus's verification that all gift cards meet our Gift Card Exchange Guidelines (Section 3.6), MileagePlus will notify you of a completed transaction.
