"United Airlines Enhances Frequent Flyer Program with Credit Card Spending Rewards"

United Airlines is adjusting its frequent flyer program to reward customers who spend more on co-branded Chase credit cards. Starting in 2024, customers will receive 25 qualifying points for every $500 spent, compared to the current rate of 500 points for every $12,000 spent. The airline will also remove caps on credit card spending that counts towards elite status. This move comes as airlines face the challenge of maintaining exclusive yet attainable programs amidst a surge in elite frequent flyers during the pandemic. Delta Air Lines also made changes to its program but later reversed some of them due to customer complaints.
