CHICAGO, April 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- United Airlines
today introduced three new promotions that let eligible MileagePlus
Premier members "Pick Your Path" depending on their upcoming travel
plans. The new promotions give members the chance to fast track
their Premier status or earn bonus miles and will run from
April 29 to July 27, 2021. Offers
include:
- A 'Welcome-back Bonus' promotion that gives members deposits of
bonus Premier Qualifying Points (PQPs) for their first three
trips.
- An 'Easy PQP' offer which provides member with a PQP deposit
without needing to travel.
- And an offer which allows members to earn double miles through
the MileagePlus X app.
"While demand for travel is steadily increasing, we recognize
that different customers are beginning to return to travel at
different times," said Luc Bondar United's vice president of
marketing and loyalty and President of MileagePlus. "Offering three
separate promotions allows us to meet our Premier members where
they are and gives our members the opportunity to select an offer
that is meaningful to them whether they're ready to travel now or
if they'd rather receive miles to save for a trip later on."
Welcome-back Bonus PQP
United is offering an option for eligible Premier members to
earn up to 25% of the outright PQPs required for their current
status level with the Welcome-back Bonus PQP offer. Combined with
the 25% PQP deposit that United gave members at the start of this
year, members who choose this option will have the opportunity to
earn half of the PQP-only requirement to requalify for their status
level.
Easy PQP
Premier members who aren't planning any travel before
July 27, 2021 can choose to receive a
10% deposit of the outright PQP requirement for their current
status level with the Easy PQP option. Members will automatically
receive between 350 and 1,500 PQPs depending on their status
level.
Bonus Miles Through MileagePlus X
Eligible U.S.-based Premier members who prefer to save up for
their next trip can choose to earn double miles (up to 10,000 bonus
miles total) on all transactions made with MileagePlus X. With the
MileagePlus X app, members can buy eGift cards from hundreds of
merchants, dine at participating restaurants, or shop online and
earn miles for each purchase.
Members have until May 13, 2021 to
choose their promotion option or they will be automatically
enrolled in the Welcome-back Bonus PQP offer. To be eligible,
members must have held Premier status on April 19, 2021. Eligible Premier members can
visit united.com/pickyourpath or sign into the MileagePlus X
app to make their selection.
These new offerings build on announcements United introduced
last year including reducing Premier qualifying thresholds,
automatically giving members 25% of the PQP requirements for their
status level and offering additional promotions for travel earlier
this year. To learn about all of the changes United made to its
