Yes, but a while back this was abused seriously by a group daisy-chaining so that all wound up GS. Shortly thereafter United began strictly enforcing the "same name or address" rule and cracking down. So, as recommended, be very quiet about this.

I should hit 1MM this Fall . . . thinking about designating a companion.
Do you have to do that right away? When is the "open season" for changing (and can you do that your first year - e.g., designate in October, change in December for 2024)? I have a spouse who may end up with same status as me, in which case I'll likely designate my child. But of course that may vary from year to year and you know who's #1. |

If you change, you need to do it by November, and the it will take effect the next year.
And thanks! |

Is there a specific date in November? (I deal too often with things like deadlines for changing health insurance and so forth . . .)

Yes, there is a set date that n November to drop or change the nominated companion. I believe it might be the 15th. But don’t hold me to it :)
edit: I found a reference :) Apparently in your first year, you get an extra 30 days to change your mind. :p Companion eligibility:
|
Any recent experiences around whether UA is enforcing the address for a change in companion?
Also, is it possible to remove a companion (before the end of November) without adding a new one? Does that then allow designating a new companion at some stage next year (similar to the first nomination), or do you need to wait until the following year to re-nominate? |
Just added a companion for the first time and to automatically add the companion the system required the address be exactly the same on both accounts, even a small difference in how the apartment number was reported caused a failure.
|
Interesting - I did first time nomination and it said addresses don’t match but then asked me to confirm companion met T&C. I said yes and it went through.
(it’s my child in college - not sure if she typed our home address differently or put down her college address - but she certainly lives with us, probably more than 50% of the time given the short semesters) |
I had the option to attempt to proceed anyway but I assumed would go to some manual review that would be another thing I'd need to track down so I just revised the addresses and resubmitted
|
Read the short info at the beginning of the thread. Couple questions since I'm really close....
I'm confused by this: "You may change the companion on your account; however the change will not be in effect until January 1 of the following year. All change requests must be made by November 30 (for changes to existing companion nominations) or December 30 (for first-time nominations) to be effective for the following year. MileagePlus will not be able to accept changes to existing companion nominations during the month of December." When you make 1MM and nominate someone right away, does the status for that person happen thereafter? Or do you have to wait till the following you? Maybe I should write MP CS. Also it sounds like even if you earn PlusPoints, they are not rewarded to the companion. They just get the base status w/o any PlusPoints? |

If you have never nominated anyone, the first nomination takes place immediately. Any change in nomination needs to be made before 30 Nov and takes effect 1 Jan (or a few days later), The previous individual will continue to receive status till the end of Jan,
Companion gets status and all status benefits, companions do not get PlusPoints without earning them. I was pretty sure they did not get PPs. |
