“These changes are designed to more directly recognize the value of our members when they fly United,” Thomas F. O’Toole, United’s senior vice president of marketing and loyalty and president of MileagePlus, said in United’s announcement. “We are also pleased to give our members new redemption options that expand the usefulness of their MileagePlus miles.”
With the change, United follows the lead of Southwest Airlines, which changed its RapidRewards system to a dollar-based system on March 1, 2011, and Delta Air Lines, which announced in February broadway theater tickets that it will convert its SkyMiles program to a dollars-based broadway theater tickets system on Jan. 1, 2015.
After March 1, 2015, only American Airlines among the nation s largest carriers will still base its frequent-flier program on miles flown. But with the integration of its AAdvantage program with merger partner US Airways’ DividendMiles program still ahead, who knows?
broadway theater tickets It will “apply to MileagePlus members worldwide for most tickets for travel on United and United Express flights, and most United-issued broadway theater tickets tickets broadway theater tickets for flights on the company’s airline partners – tickets with numbers that begin with  ‘016.’”
A member can earn up to 75,000 award miles per ticket. (Think that’s hard to reach? A first-class, round-trip  ticket this week from San Francisco to London Heathrow can be had for $17,569. For a Premier 1K traveler, that would bring 193,259 miles without the cap.)
“The new earning structure will not affect the way members qualify for Premier status broadway theater tickets in 2015, and MileagePlus credit card members will still earn even more miles when they use their cards to purchase United tickets.”
The winners are people who take short-distance, high-dollar trips, and business travelers on expensive international trips. The losers are long-distance coach fliers and vacationers on leisure (i.e. cheaper) tickets.
If you want to earn miles the old fashion way, you may have a little extra time with American / US Airways because they are going through their merger broadway theater tickets and likely won’t announce major changes until 2015. And a change this large will likely have ample notice, so it could be 2016 or later before American / US Airways adopts this scheme.
What if you re a loser in the changes? If you want to try to send a message to the airlines, move your business to American / US Airways and make your choice known to both sides, as there will be a window where American / US Airways evaluates this. They will let you ‘challenge’ broadway theater tickets to match the status you have with United or Delta if you’re an elite level frequent flyer so you can enjoy the perks you used to while you try it, he writes.
