✈️ United Just Rewrote the Rules for Earning Miles — And That's Just the Start

from Miles & Points Daily Podcast · host Miles & Points Daily Podcast

United Airlines has overhauled its MileagePlus program with major changes coming in April that could mean earning zero miles on some flights. TSA PreCheck and Global Entry have been suspended, so if you're heading to the airport soon, you need to hear this before you go. Lufthansa passengers spent the night trapped on a grounded plane at one of Europe's busiest hubs in a story that sounds unbelievable but actually happened. Several valuable transfer bonuses from Chase and Capital One are expiring at the end of February, including deals on Japan Airlines and Virgin Atlantic that are too good to ignore. Plus, there's a warning about hotel points cancellations that could cost you thousands in unexpected cash charges.Subscribe to Miles & Points Daily Newsletter 👉🏼 https://milesandpointsdaily.com/Thanks to Hotel Redemptions and Award Travel Finder for sponsoring this episode!Support us - ChaseChase BusinessAmerican ExpressAmerican Express BusinessBilt RewardsCapital OneRampRakuten
