Breaking: United Airlines Will Announce New Family Mileage Pooling Benefit This Week
United Airlines plans to announce ‘family pooling’ of mileage this week, as noted by aviation watchdog JonNYC. This is a nice benefit where your kids can help you earn miles towards an award more quickly, and your once a year traveling in-laws can too. Miles get used faster, and become more useful.
- Friends and family will be able to join a mileage pool and add miles to the shared account.

- You can make it so some family members add their miles, but only others can spend them.
