United Airlines To Allow People To Share Their Frequent-Flyer Points

Frequent-flyer programs are valuable to airlines by increasing customer loyalty and giving consumers a reason to get an airline-branded credit card.

United Airlines is now allowing people to share their frequent-flyer points with family and friends.

United said a “pool leader” can pick up to four other people to set up a joint account in its MileagePlus Program.

The group leader must be over 18-years-old. However, there is no minimum age for others in the group. Everyone in the pool must have their own united frequent-flyer account.

United’s credit cards are issued by Chase.
