Needs some serious help!
Jun 30 2007, 11:16 PM EDT Has to be one of the most depressing airlines to fly with the worst frequent flyer program if you make many short trips. I fly several times a week for business and have the misfortune of ending up on UAL at least 8 times a month. If you have other options try and use those first before flying United. Their rewards program is really geared towards the infrequent traveler who takes long trips and not the truly frequent business traveler. Example: It has taken me 6 months and over $15,000 in flights to reach their first tier of Premier status, I might reach the next tire of Premier Executive by the end of the year. Contrast that with my admin assistant who is already at the same level by just taking trips to the Middle East at less than $2,200. This clearly demonstrates which type of flyer they prefer. 7 out of 17 found this valuable. Do you? |

Jul 3 2007, 12:09 PM EDT I used to love United and was very loyal, when I lived in San Francisco (they are dominant on most routes out of SFO). I was Premier Executive status. However, since I moved away from San Francisco, I've had a number of bumps with United (I particularly hate the new voice recognition / phone menu they put on their reservation line), and now fly Alaska more often instead. 2 out of 2 found this valuable.

May 21 2008, 12:09 PM EDT Drifter, Premier status can be reached by flying just 30 segments. If you are really flying United (8x/month or 16 segments,) you would reach this status within two months. I call bull on your post. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |
