Different airlines have unique rules for how to get elite status. United Airlines has a frequent flyer elite program called MileagePlus Premier® that offers a range of elite status levels and benefits. You can use elite status on United Airlines to get a range of benefits, like free checked bags, complimentary upgrades, and discount memberships for United Club℠ lounge access.
One advantage of the United Airlines elite status program is flexibility. United offers multiple ways to earn elite status — by flying, or by spending money on a United Airlines credit card. Unlike some other airlines, United Airlines also lets frequent flyers earn elite status by using MileagePlus® award tickets and upgrades. One positive change for 2024 is that United is also making it easier to earn elite status from everyday spending on United Airlines Chase credit cards.
