Inactive United Mileage Accounts to Expire |
 United Airlines today announced a pretty significant change to its Mileage Plus program. Mileage Plus accounts that remain inactive (i.e. with no new miles accrued, flights taken or miles redeemed) for 18 months will expire. Miles associated with accounts that show no activity from July 1, 2006 onward will disappear on Dec. 31, 2007. If you're into travel enough to read a travel blog, you're probably not in danger of losing your miles. But it's good info to squirrel away and hound less computer-savvy relatives and friends about. You can also remind them that they can easily tranfer unused miles to other travelers (hint! hint!). Here are United's suggestions for keeping Mileage Plus accounts active:
- Fly on United or one of its 28 airline partners - Use or sign-up for a Mileage Plus Visa credit or debit card - Purchase products or services from more than 100 travel and retail partners - Use miles by taking a trip to one of the 841 destinations United and its partners serve - Use miles for merchandise, hotel stays and dining - Transfer miles to another Mileage Plus member - Donate miles to the Mileage Plus Charity Miles program United Airlines Announces Important Change to its Mileage Plus Frequent Flyer Program |
