United Airlines tweaks frequent flyer program to reward credit card spending
Publishing timestamp: 2023-11-09 08:00:01
Summary
United Airlines plans to make it easier for customers to earn elite status through co-branded Chase credit cards. The airline is not changing the overall requirements for elite frequent flyer status next year, but will reward customers with 25 qualifying points for every $500 they spend on co-branded cards starting in 2024. The carrier will also lift caps on credit card spending that can qualify toward elite status. This is a move to reward big spenders and adjust their frequent flyer program in response to the surge in elite frequent flyers during the Covid-19 pandemic.
