Dear Midnight Sun,

Thank you for contacting "New System".

In checking our memory banks we have found a past Company incarnation involving hotels, and presently Hotel points.....However at this time "New System" wishes to encourage usage of UA Bonus miles for minutes. We are interested in making money, not facilitating sleep activities. As you may have noticed over the years, we continually request our pilots & FA's to fly more hours. We feel less sleep for our passengers too will help fill our planes and spend more time calling our centers, because they will make mistakes...thus helping our bottom line with change fees.

"New System" Out!
