Mar 1, 2013I just finalized an upcoming trip and wanted to allocate ~$3,000 to a business credit card, and the balance to a personal card.
The cs agent said this was not possible.
I was surprised and asked her to check with the supervisor, and got the same answer - only one card allowed.
Anyone heard this before?

I believe this is a VISA/MasterCard ruling & policy that no "sales spiltting" is allowed. That is, you can't use 2 cards to pay for a single item.

Split payments are such a simple programming procedure but again we are talking UA and technology. UA was the only airline during the holidays that did not have an airline gift cards. Accepting these is nothing more than accepting a visa card.

Kind of a workaround, but you could buy a $3,000 refundable ticket to anywhere on one credit card, then change it to apply that to the real ticket, paying the difference on a new card.

I've often done that at Delta CTOs, where the TAs referred to it as "multiple FOP" (form of payment), but I've never heard of it working at UA for some reason.
It's essentially the same thing as using a DB voucher and a CC to pay for a ticket that costs more than the DB voucher, so I don't see why UA has a problem doing that.
