United announces "MileagePlus Miles Never Expire" (effective immediately 28 Aug 2019)
 
Just saw this on United website, way to go United!

Mileage balance

Great travel memories never expire, and now, miles don’t either. We’re excited to share that there’s no expiration date on the miles you’ve earned with us.

I am still seeing the 18-month rule displayed on the website. However, if this is true it is a massive step in the right direction.

Wow. When was the last time there was a good MP surprise?

Signed into my account, I see the "never expire" message.

Also no more mention of expiry in the app. Nice one!

When $MI/J left and I was no longer "over entitled."

If this is true, how would it benefit customers ? The longer one holds the miles, the less the miles will be worth.

Here is my guess - this is a response to Chase.

If you transfer UR to UA, you will still be subject to the standard 18-month expiration policy. But if your miles is earned directly with UA (including cobrand credit card), your miles will no longer expire...

If this is the case, I don't understand how they could separately keep track of UR miles versus UA-earned miles in an account, short of implementing entirely new software to recognize and track two different flavors of miles. At the moment these two earnings are invisibly co-mingled.

Worrisome as they seem to be copying DL. Really hope the miles won't be devalued as aggressively.

I now have the no expiry message on my app. Excellent news.

I think this is of limited benefit to those of us active on FT. How difficult is it to have some activity over 18 months? :)

fumje Aug 28, 2019 4:41 am
Miles may never 'expire', but with dynamic awards they can become worthless at any time, with no notice.

Any chance they get rid of the Ridiculous high transfer cost of $7.50 per 500 miles to other mp accts? Would love to transfer miles to family members.

Wish for once that AA would follow United on this one...(I know DL has had it for years)
