Announcing new benefits and changes to your Mileage Plus program

To ensure that Mileage Plus continues to provide you with a valuable loyalty recognition and award program, we are announcing several new benefits and changes.

To provide members more flight redemption options, United has reserved a percentage of Saver Award seats on every flight to every international and U.S. domestic United destination through mid-March 2007. Saver Awards, available with some restrictions on United-operated flights and United's partner airlines, offer award travel for the fewest required miles.

New Award Chart revised. Download and print the updated version for the most up-to-date information on Mileage Plus Saver and Standard Awards.

Effective October 16, 2006, the number of miles required to redeem for many Standard and select Saver Awards will change. The domestic Economy Standard Award redemption amount will increase from 40,000 to 50,000 miles. You have until then to book and ticket at the current award mileage redemptions.

Even with these changes, our new award redemption levels remain among the lowest of other international carriers with three classes of service. Download and print the New Award Chart (48.7KB).

You will need the FREE Adobe Acrobat Reader to view and print the chart. While viewing the Quick Reference Guide in Acrobat Reader, please be sure to choose Save from the File menu.

Effective May 15, 2008, a US$75 close-in processing fee applies to Standard and Saver awards ticketed between seven and 20 days prior to departure. A US$100 fee will apply to awards ticketed less than seven days prior to departure. There is no fee for awards ticketed 21 days or more prior to departure.

Also effective May 15, 2008, a nonrefundable US$25 award handling fee per ticket applies to award travel booked and ticketed by phone through United Reservations. A US$30 fee applies to award travel booked and ticketed at any United ticket counter. Awards redeemed online are not subject to an award handling fee.

For award tickets issued on or after May 15, 2008, a US$150 change fee will apply per ticket to awards involving a change to a city or routing, or for the cancellation of an award ticket. All changes to your ticketed award itinerary must be made through a United Reservations agent, or by visiting any United ticketing location.

Award travel on Star Alliance^® and other Mileage Plus air partners are subject to applicable award fees. 1K^® and Global Services members are exempt from award fees.

Effective immediately, and for the remainder of 2006, Mileage Plus is offering the popular U.S. domestic short-haul Saver Awards, which enables Mileage Plus members to take short trips (for example, Chicago–Washington Dulles or San Francisco–Seattle) using up to 40 percent fewer miles. Flights up to 700 miles each way on United, United Express^® and Ted^(SM) within the 48 contiguous United States and between the U.S. and Canada qualify. Only 15,000 Redeemable Miles are required for a roundtrip United Economy^® short-haul Saver Award ticket, which normally requires 25,000 miles.

Effective for all flights flown on or after July 1, 2008, flight segments of less than 500 miles on United^®, United Express^®, Tedsm, Star Alliance and partner airlines will accrue the actual number of miles flown.
