"United Airlines Introduces Mileage Pooling for Families and Friends"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by CNBC
United Airlines has introduced a new feature allowing members of its MileagePlus loyalty program to pool their frequent flyer miles with family and friends, enabling them to use the combined stash for trips on United. Customers can designate a "pool leader" and select up to four other participants, who can be any age, to contribute to the joint account. This move follows similar initiatives by other airlines like JetBlue Airways and Frontier Airlines, and aims to engage less-frequent to moderately frequent travelers and their families in the loyalty program.
