The escape is carefully planned.
United Airlines has revamped its MileagePlus program, offering more miles to cardholders and fewer miles to non-cardholders. The airline has also introduced discounts on award redemptions for cardholders and increased the number of miles earned when paying for flights with certain cards. However, basic economy tickets will now earn fewer miles, with some flyers earning no miles at all. The changes are part of the airline’s effort to reward its loyal customers and encourage them to use its credit cards.
And now, even escaping to the economy seats requires a credit card.
