United Airlines sent out an email late Saturday (US time) for MileagePlus elite members telling them that there are no waivers, at least not for now, in 2020 due to the current coronavirus outbreak.
Many businesses have significantly curtailed travel, and conferences and events have been canceled or made virtual. United has also trimmed its flight activity by 10% to 20% due to a lack of bookings.

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 February.
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 May 10, 2020.
United Airlines is at it again to siphon off even more money from those poor souls who book a ticket without baggage allowance but learn at check-in that they need to check one: Fees are going up!
The baggage fee for domestic United passengers will go up by $5 effective March 6th and end up being a whopping US$35 total but there is a way around the price increase.
Today’s Airfare of the Day goes to United and their high/low-off-peak/shoulder season midweek business class non-refundable round trip fares between San Francisco and Istanbul. This fare includes a stopover/transfer in Europe. The segments Europe-Istanbul are operated by Turkish Airlines.

The big three U.S. airlines American, Delta and United have revised their schedules and pushed the cancellations of mainland China & Hong Kong Routes until late April of 2020.

United Airlines MileagePlus and Chase have launched a new bonus opportunity for select affiliated credit cardholders.
“Destination: Miles” personalized offer is valid for purchases made using the card between February 1 – March 31, 2020. Member must check their eligibility on United’s website.
Both, United Airlines and American Airlines have taken drastic steps and have announced this evening that they will suspend all flights to Hong Kong until at least February 20th.
Both carriers have already suspended flights to the mainland until the end of March in reaction of a lawsuit from pilots unions which claimed danger for the crew when flying into potentially contaminated areas.
United Airlines and Vistara, an Indian airline founded by TATA and Singapore Airlines, penned a codeshare agreement in 2019 that has now expanded.
United Airlines MileagePlus members can now both earn and redeem miles on Vistara operated flights effective February 1, 2020. I would assume that Vistara frequent flier program members are eligible to earn and burn on United.
