United Airlines MileagePlus In 2018 launched a promo called Mile Play, trying to get members to spend and fly more. They refresh these offers every few months and have launched a new one for November.
The Mile Play promotion is tailored to each select member based on his/her recent activity with United. It may require buying more business class tickets or flying a certain number of trips through January 31, 2020.
United Airlines has launched a new MileagePlus buy miles Flash Sale that is valid for purchases made through November 15, 2019. You can check your bonus or discount offer on United’s website here.
United Airlines has promotions every month for buying miles, but they all max out at a 100% bonus or a 50% discount (the same offer because United usually limits the number of miles one can purchase per year, including any possible bonuses to 175K).
Effective November 1, 2019 new rules have been implemented for paid members of American Airlines Admirals Club & United Airlines United Club, requiring them to have a same day ticket in order to gain access.
Previously it was sufficient to hold a valid membership of the respective club which is being sold on an annual basis and in some case attached to U.S. credit card products.

United Airlines today announced changes for elite qualification in 2020. This won’t affect how you qualify for status this year.
United is moving away from flown miles (not with partners) and only uses segments (Premier Qualifying Flight – PQF) and Premier Qualifying Points (PQP). United claims that this makes qualifying simpler, although my take is just more confusion.
United Airlines has launched a new conversion bonus from eight hotel partners to MileagePlus miles.
Members must register for this offer and convert between October 9 – November 30, 2019.
United Airlines is revamping this year how MileagePlus Platinum, 1K and Global Services members upgrade their flights by moving away from regional and global upgrade certificates to points based system called PlusPoints.
All existing certificates are converted on December 4, 2019 to PlusPoints. Unlike current certificates, members can waitlist for multiple flights using their PlusPoints which are only deducted once they clear.
United Airlines sent out an email blast to select MileagePlus members this morning informing them about a new double dip offer with IHG Rewards Club for stays between September 20 – December 30, 2019.

When I was writing about the latest American Airlines partner whose awards are now available on AA’s site for bookings (read more here), it came to my mind that it wasn’t THAT long ago when we had to call in (sometimes even several offices) to get partner awards ticketed. This often meant also a visit to a ticketing office either at the airport or in the city.
Those days are pretty much gone for members that participate in Star Alliance, Oneworld and SkyTeam frequent flier programs. Unaligned airlines and smaller alliance ones still struggle to bring their partner award bookings online, which could be a revenue protection mechanism as well.
A LoyaltyLobby reader sent us a question that is of interest for many of us regarding using two different frequent flier programs for crediting miles and elite benefits.
