✈️ United Just Changed Everything — New Rules Rewarding Cardholders Take Effect Now

United MileagePlus has rolled out sweeping changes that dramatically favor co-branded credit card holders, including more miles earned, discounted award flights, and expanded Polaris business class availability — while non-cardholders and basic economy flyers get left behind. Citi has brought back a record-high welcome offer on its AAdvantage Business card, and Alaska and Hawaiian Airlines' new Atmos Rewards cards are offering some of the most valuable welcome bonuses in recent memory. Several major transfer bonuses are live right now from Capital One, Chase, and Citi — including a massive 70% bonus to IHG and a 30% bonus to Japan Airlines — but they're expiring soon. American Express and United are both making major lounge investments across multiple cities, and Flying Blue has opened up a paid status match to U.S. and Canadian residents for the first time. Plus, there's a surprisingly valuable Choice Hotels redemption hiding in the Caribbean and British Airways just made a controversial new in-flight policy official.Subscribe to Miles & Points Daily Newsletter 👉🏼 https://milesandpointsdaily.com/Thanks to Award Travel Finder for sponsoring this episode!Support us - ChaseChase BusinessAmerican ExpressAmerican Express BusinessBilt RewardsCapital OneRampRakuten
