Mileage Plus Chosen as Loyalty Program for the New United Airlines

Travel News Asia Latest Travel News Podcasts Videos Friday, 1 July 2011

Mileage Plus is to become the loyalty program of United Airlines and Continental Airlines beginning in 2012.

Moving to a single loyalty program is a significant milestone in the integration of the two airlines and will provide a more consistent travel experience for customers.

Details of the Mileage Plus program – including elite levels, qualifications and benefits, lifetime benefits, and other program developments that will take effect in 2012 – are expected to be unveiled in the coming months.

As a result of this decision, Continental’s OnePass loyalty program will end on 31 December 2011.

United will automatically enroll OnePass members in Mileage Plus and deposit into Mileage Plus award miles equal to their OnePass award miles balance.

OnePass members’ 2011 OnePass elite qualifying activity will also be recognized fully in their 2012 Mileage Plus elite status.

Chase OnePass credit cards, including OnePass Plus and Presidential Plus, will continue to earn miles and benefits in the Mileage Plus program.

In the meantime, United and Continental customers who are currently enrolled in both Mileage Plus and OnePass may link their accounts, enabling them to combine their miles and earn awards faster this year.
