When the 2025 changes to Mileage Plus were announced they mentioned more redemption options for Plus Points and that these changes would be coming in Summer 2025.
Coming this summer,
PlusPoints earned upon achieving Premier Platinum and Premier 1K® status will become even more versatile. In addition to using PlusPoints to request premium seat and cabin upgrades, you’ll soon be able to redeem PlusPoints for new perks, including:
- Gifting Premier status to other MileagePlus members
- Premier qualifying points (PQP) or Premier qualifying flights (PQF)
- TravelBank cash
- Bonus miles
These new benefits will be available with PlusPoints earned during the 2025 qualification year with an expiration date of 1/31/27 or later.
I was on the United app earlier this afternoon and noticed a change. In the attached photo you see an "Exchange" link under my Plus Points total. When I click on the link it leads me to the Plus Points page, but I upon perusing the page I don't see anything "new." It is possible I am not seeing the options since my Plus Points don't expire in 2027.
Can anyone with Plus Points expiring in 2027 see if the "Exchange" link sheds any light for what the future will bring?
