United Airlines Targeted Bonus Miles/Premier Qualifying Miles/RPU Promotion For PS Flights September 17 – February 29, 2016

United Airlines has now launched a targeted promotion for trying people continue to use its p.s. Flights after moving them from New York’s JFK airport to Newark (that United still calls New York…).

You can earn bonus redeemable miles, bonus premier qualifying miles or RPUs (regional premier upgrades). You have to choose between these three options.

You can access and try to register for this offer here.

Note that there could be several varieties of this offer out there and you may be eligible to sign up only one or none of them.

The offer is only valid for business and high economy fare classes of ,A,J,C,D,Z,P,Y,B,M,E,U,H,Q and V.

Here’s the offer that a LoyaltyLobby reader forwarded me:

Conclusion

United Airlines probably loses quite a bit of the p.s. traffic by moving it from JFK to EWR, although it gains more connectivity this way to/from Europe and other cities.

This is a good offer for those that fly using business/high economy fares on p.s. and can thus benefits from it.
