Question Red Circle on "My trips"

What does the red circle with the number1 inside signify above the My Trips square?

You mean this?


For me, that indicates how many active trips that UA is tracking on my Mileage Plus account: exactly one (1) right now.

Generally yes, however there are three cases where it isn't accurate: If you aren't actually logged in to the MP account it seems to be # of active reservations as of last time you logged in; if you've booked a MP trip for someone else (eg when I book a ticket for my wife even if I'm not traveling) that reservation is also included; and within about 24-48 hours after the completion of all segments in a reservation before it 'falls off'

I'm not sure about Android, but as an iPhone/iPad user, that red button UA uses is so synonymous with a 'notification', makes me think something needs urgent attention (flight change/cancellation/check-in notice)...But it's nothing urgent. Was that your initial thought, OP?

I see this red circle on UA.com, either when logged in or when accessing it from a computer on which I was previously logged in, and the number works just as DELee explained. I do not, however, see any red circle on the "My United" button (where my trips can be accessed) in the iOS app.
