Partnership Plus Program Changes Coming
Got the monthly e-mail for Partnership Plus. Put in for 3,000 mile redemption for American Airlines. I noted the below announcement and hope that it doesn’t mean changes for either American or United participation in this program. For those who have points it might be the time to cash them in.
“Great news! We've heard you say that you want a wider selection of rewards to choose from so starting in July 2006, we will introduce an entirely new rewards package, with more variety and better point levels!
This means that we will no longer offer some of our current rewards, so if you've had your eye on something for a while, try to redeem it today.”

The scoop on miles
Received today, April 7, 2006:
Dear Gary,
Thank you for your e-mail inquiring about out new rewards program that will take effect this July. We will no longer be offering Air Travel Miles (emphasis added), but we will have other travel rewards such as points towards hotel stays and Celebrity Cruises. Also, we will be offering cash rewards, but the amount may differ. You may be able to redeem more points so that you can get a check for a greater amount, or something along those lines. Nothing is set in stone yet, so I am not able to give you exact details. I truly think that you will be pleased with the new rewards program. I hope this helps, and please let me know if there is anything else that I can do for you. Thanks again!
If you have any further questions please feel free to contact me at [email protected].
Sincerely,
Kim Sharp
Director of Member Relations

Well at the web site and sure enough both American and United are now not participating in this program. Will have to look at this again later, but big disappointment to see the airlines gone.
