United Airlines Introduces MileagePlus Miles Pooling Program

The new program allows groups of up to five members to share miles, aiming to simplify award travel and enhance customer loyalty.

United Airlines launches MileagePlus miles pooling, allowing up to five people to share miles for award travel.
Technical issues delay the program's webpage launch, with a 48-72 hour expected resolution time.
The initiative marks United as the first major U.S. carrier to offer such a pooling feature, enhancing its loyalty program.
Miles pooled into the joint account cannot be transferred back to individual accounts, ensuring miles stay within the pool.
The program's introduction comes amid United's efforts to increase travel affordability and customer engagement ahead of the summer season.
