me tracking info): https://go.unitedforbiz.com/ that then redirected me to https://beta.united.business/en/us/index but after poking around I think it should have taken me to https://united.business/.United did get back to me with what they called the proper URL, but it was this again: https://beta.united.business/en/us/index
I'm not sure whether/if our old account and our new one need to be linked so I wanted to use what they told me, but clearly they are still having problems. I've asked again for clarification.
Can you tell me which URL you used?

I think judging by the lack of discussion here, that most people didn't even know about PerksPlus!
I also think they were tired of a bunch of leisure travel counting towards it.
My big challenge will be that I want to use my personal Infinite card (4x United spend) for my travel and my companies Business UA card (2x United spend) for everyone else. Accounting is going to love me.

Similar but different problem:
I have registered for United for Business, as per my post above, no UCS required, just my company's EIN. That's all fine. I can log in to UfB just fine and see and manage my company's travelers and travel arrangers. I have been happily using the discounts.
Today I received an email to login to Jetstream in order to complete my annual elite nominations by the end of the month. I'd be surprised if we have enough fund balance to nominate someone, but I thought I'd take a peek.
Any thoughts appreciated.

- First I tried logging in to Jetstream using my UfB account credentials, no go.
- Then I tried resetting my password at Jetstream using my company (and UfB) email. Never got a password reset email.
- Then I tried creating a new user in Jetstream. The options are Corporate, Travel Agency, Meetings. When I select Corporate it asks for my UCS number and won't advance without it.
- I have no communication from United with a UCS number
- It doesn't accept my old PerksPlus Account ID as a UCS number (wrong format)
- It doesn't accept my old PerksPlus Tour Code as a UCS number (wrong format)
Any thoughts appreciated.

Added detail: I'm not sure why that initial comparison showed so much, but it looks like the benefit ranges from 4-8% discounts for us domestically depending on fare class, and 2-8% internationally depending on fare class. We selected "Plan a" which gives more discounts on fare but no discounts on add-ons since all of my guys are at least Gold anyway if not 1MM or 2MM. We are a very small business. I have no idea what is offered to firms of other sizes.
Business/First (J/C) 8% both
Business/First (D/Z) 4% domestic, 2% international
Premium Economy (O) 8% both
Premium Economy (A) 4% domestic, 2% international
Economy (Y/B/M/E/U/H) 8% both
Economy (Q/V/W) 4% domestic, 2% international
Is it? Other than the drop down to select personal or business travel it is pretty much the same.
I didn't put anything in for the UCS number.
