- Go to united.com > My Account
- Select “Manage Profile”
- In the Preferences section, select “View All Flight Search Preferences”
- In the Expert Mode section, read and acknowledge the customer advisements

As always, thanks for your feedback and patience over the last couple weeks while we worked to make these changes.

I am traveling over the holidays (NYC to Caribbean) with my family. 8 people in the reservation and we purchased B-class tickets. I will be Platinum by this point. Will I be upgraded with them on my reservation? I know I can get up to 8 ppl in Economy plus.
If I will not be upgraded, should I separate my reservation to get the auto upgrade? Will they lose the platinum benefits of econ+, free bags and priority boarding if I separate?
Any advice or solutions is well appreciated.
Book as a common PNR and then split yours off -- that will give you access to upgrades and your companions PNRs will be noted they were original a linked to you. This is make it easier to maintain the benefits for the companion although you may still need to remind the agents.

GPUs go poof and can not be apply to a flight beyond their expiration.
