United MileagePlus Choices (Pay Yourself Back)

也许是我村网通了,但是好像也没有看到其他博客在介绍这个项目。

最近得知UA MileagePlus为Chase联名卡用户添加了一个类似Pay Yourself Back的功能。可以用里程来兑换90天之内UA机票消费的statement credit,100 miles = 1刀。最低5000miles起兑换。相比去年年末推出的Money + Miles, 这个的有点就在于可以正常累计积分,而不是只有现金部分才能累计积分。

但是系统十分不智能,需要Chase 20位reference number,而且要自己计算需要兑换的金额。如果自己输入超过机票价格(兑换表格还真允许 :yaoming:),兑换了不能兑换的(非机票消费,非官网订单),或者机票取消,会被reject and reverse然后收2500 miles的手续费。

最近各种小道消息听说里程会再次贬值,从UA 857这种不开里程票的骚操作间接证实了这点,另一个关于加收YQ的靴子还没落地。不过这个MileagePlus Choices至少短期内给贬值程度设置了个地板, 还算是人道主义。

To use Choices for an airfare statement credit, purchase any United ticket on united.com with your MileagePlus credit card. Flights purchased through any other source, such as United General Reservations, United Vacations, travel agencies or other travel websites, are not eligible. When the purchase posts to your credit card account, login at www.united.com/chase to use award miles earned with your MileagePlus credit card for an airfare statement credit against that charge.

No blackouts means any flight available on united.com can be purchased for Choices any day of the year. No inventory restriction indicates that any open seat on any available flight on united.com is eligible for Choices. Award miles earned with your MileagePlus credit card can be used against a ticket purchased on united.com through Choices for an airfare statement credit up to the full cost of the ticket.

Airfare statement credit requested may not exceed the ticket purchase amount charged to your MileagePlus credit card. Partial statement credits are allowed with a minimum of 5,000 award miles. However, only one statement credit request can be made per unique transaction.

You must submit your request within 90 days of the ticket purchase date.

MileagePlus and Chase reserve the right to reverse Choices air statement credits where the original ticket purchase is refunded. Award miles used will be re-deposited in your account and the Choices airfare statement credit will be reversed on your MileagePlus credit card account. In the event a reversal is required, an administrative fee of 2,500 award miles may be deducted from your MileagePlus account and will appear on your MileagePlus statement as an adjustment.

现在我真心觉得里程票的时代已经过去了,除了个别航线商务舱已经变得more affordable。所以个人认为各种航空里程>1.5cpp高估值已经不太行了。

博客的估值也该改改了,因为搬家可以做开卡看了博客就挑了ua quest开,结果就看到大佬之前的ua贬值帖 :yaoming:

签证过期两年了 :melting_face:

domestic贬值很严重吗?我也是打算开quest,还没仔细研究,主要飞domestic :cry:

UA就算贬值也保底1.5cpp吧
用quest你用16666点交年费,然后得到125刀credit+5000*2点的points
相当于6666点+兑换两张里程票的点=125刀+2张里程牌。125刀的部分有1.87cpp,剩下的里程牌兑换只要不太低综合起来还是能换出1.5cpp的。还有来回的免费行李。只要一年出门一次坐2次飞机就能很划算

按大佬的估值提前定的话1.1左右, 临近出发定的话有可能高一点

exactly,觉得泥潭各位很少有两周以内买票的

我今年夏天的时候,因为换到了当天ghost seat的汉莎航班没走成,在sfo机场临时又换到了途径montreal去欧洲的票。回程也是出的两天后的票。哈哈其实美联航里程特别适合工作不爽说走就走去散心的人。
