Yup. No expiration if you have a OnePass Plus or MileagePlus Explorer though.

Now, I'm confused, following is a cut out from an AP article today;

"Miles in the combined program will expire after a year and a half. That?s not a change for United travelers. Continental miles had no expiration date, although accounts could become inactive after a year and a half if no new miles were earned."

Here it seems that unlike CO, UA miles will expire regardless of activity/inactivity. Whereas upon reading UA insider's report, it seems otherwise. Following is what Scott had to say;

"Aligned mileage expiration policy. Miles will expire if your account is left inactive for 18 months. Our definition of activity will be very easy to meet for earning or redemption in thousands of ways. This includes something as simple as a magazine subscription redemption ? which can be had for as little as 400 miles."

Makes one wonder, who holds the truth...?

Poor reporting by AP, of course UAInsider is correct.

An interesting thing, those who hold the OP PP CC will be exempt from the 4 flight min for status.

I guess that Continental miles with no expiration date is about to end. Under the combined program they announced today that miles will expire after a year and a half

Will it expire even if I have activity (without having their CC)?

Of course not.

Is there somewhere where I can see clearly all the changes that are coming in January? Not just the changes that United are putting into effect but also the ones that are different from Continental to United?

I would say yes especially if you plan to fly a lot next year. They have gotta to be worth $300 min a piece

That would depend simply on if you will use them or not.
Bear in mind they're not good on the cheapest fares.

Also you will get 1K benefits instead of Plat benefits: http://onepassmergerupdates.com/en/op/MileagePlusin2012/2012MPStatusChart

how long does it take to post FEQM

Brian · « **Reply #72 on:** November 23, 2011, 07:27:56 PM »

Takes about 10 days after the cc statement for FEQM to post on your CO account. When you transfer the FEQM towards elite mileage balance a few minutes later it will post on your life time miles, but it takes about a day to post on your yearly mileage balance.

Quote from: UA Insider

Last flight departing with CO code. CO1267 from PHX to CLE is scheduled to depart at 11:59pm local time on March 2nd

First CO-metal flight departing with UA code. UA1158 from LAX to IAH is scheduled to depart at 12:30am local time on March 3rd

Last flight arriving with CO code. CO6 from NRT to IAH is scheduled to arrive at 12:35pm local time on March 3rd

Of course, any number of things can ultimately influence this schedule, but,
it is what is currently planned.

Weird that the Plat card is nicer than the 1K.

Now that this is over, can you sum up the main pros and cons the way you see it as a CO fan before the merger and now UA after the merger? (I know this has been brought up many times before in other threads, but just make a summary here)
