Taken 320 PlusPoints expiring 31 January 2024

[heycam]

I have 320 PlusPoints expiring at the end of January that I have no chance of using, and which I'd be happy to apply to someone else's booking.

Edit: 300 remaining.

Thank you kind sir. I shall reach out regarding a forthcoming IAH-FLL booking (20PP).

EDIT - now showing as waitlisted, so hopefully it'll come through.

Super generous, sent you a DM!

210 remaining.

What exactly is a PlusPoint?

 

[heycam]

It's a United MileagePlus thing that Platinums and 1Ks earn that can be used to put in for upgrades.

It apparently replaced some other system (Complimentary Premier Upgrades) a couple of years back.

Edit: replaced GPUs and RPUs (Global and Regional Premier Upgrades), not CPUs.

I've had quite a few as a lifetime Platinum, but have been unable to use any on International flights, as UA is pretty stingy in this regard. Upgrades from Y to PE don't really interest me so I just look elsewhere. UA's loss I guess, but they don't need my money.

Yes please! I‘m planning to fly SYD - LAX then LAX - AUS on a separate ticket, I’d love to get some points applied to that second domestic leg. Not sure if I can DM just yet so you may need to send me a message

 

[heycam]

Welcome to AFF, Natalia5966. I am not sure if new members can start DM conversations, so I will DM you.

 

[Natalia5966]

Thanks, long time lurker but this generous offer pushed me over the edge.

After that request, and helping out some work colleagues last week, I have 30 points left.

Hi I have a flight from RSW to BER on December 29 and would greatly appreciate an upgrade

Do these Plus points work on award flights? I have a booking BNE-SFO-MIA booked on miles in April.

I’ll DM you.

I was trying to find the answer to that myself on the weekend. I think it is not possible but could not find anything definitive with some quick Web searching.

Oh, and welcome to AFF memcnern!

 

[MELso]

No Pluspoints on award tickets sadly. And the first sector of the flight has to be before the PlusPoints expire.

The other thing to note is that you can use them on LH and NH bookings too.

(And alas, I won't get my upgrade. Only one F seat left and I'm eleventh on the list. )

 

[heycam]

All my expiring PlusPoints have now been used. (Maybe some will become available again over the next few weeks before Jan 31 if upgrades don't clear.)

Don’t know if this helps but you can usually bid for a cash upgrade.

Hi, I ended up having to change my flights and would love an upgrade for my friend and I - 5 hour flights from SFO to Newark
