Topic Wiki

Plus Points work similar to upgrading with points where there’s usually a waitlist (unless PZ or PN class is available in which case it’s possible that saver awards are also available and may be of better value, but not always.) only that there’s no copay like on upgrade with regular points. You book a regular ticket (revenue only) just like anyone else can upgrade you with points, they can also do PP for you. If waitlisted, they’ll clear within 24hrs of the flight usually right before the flight unless the passenger has status.

PP prices do not vary by fare class, but by cabin class and route alone. F,K,G it’s all the same. Upgrades with regular points it does vary, both the points amount and the copay amount. See links below.

Using regular points- basically check here you may be better off with regular points. You can also just check your itinerary in manage my booking once you book to see exact prices and copays.

I see pp from GS accounts have a double asking price of those from 1K. Newbie questions: on the waitlist, does where the pp come from make a difference? If the pp come from a GS account, does it give me a higher priority to be cleared?

I am a general UA member and have a G fare class economy ticket. Wondering how the upgrade priority works.

Yes. An upgrade with GS has the highest priority. Double check that you can upgrade from a G class ticket.

Anyone know how many PP would be required for a United flight from New Jersey to Panama? I see on the United website that 10 or 20 points could be required, depending on whether the flight is a long haul or short haul, but the website does not indicate the parameters for a short haul vs long-haul flights.

Good to know. Any offer? There are 22 Polaris seats available but I don't want to end up hanging onto the expiring  Plus points.   Thank you.

1K pp upgrade pulls from PZ inventory, so PZ0 means you'll be waitlisted
