Having the United Explorer card gives you access to XN which is expanded Economy awards at the saver level price, it also gives you access to JN which is last seat availability in Business class but not at the saver level price, which in this case it would be 180k.
Thanks.
So just to confirm that I understood correctly. There is four levels of award space
1. Standard award bucket (HN,ZN) - every mile member.
2. Expanded standard award bucket (JN,YN) - card holders and Plat/1K/GS elites.
3. Saver award bucket (I,X) - every mile member .
4. Expanded saver award bucket (IN,XN) - Plat/1K/GS elites but not card holders.
If so what's the difference between
standard award and
saver award they both seem to be open to all miles members.
Also whats between the
expanded saver vs
regular saver.
Last, it seems that card members do get access to Expanded saver award bucket as they have access to XN.
Thanks
P.S. you can see the attached screenshot from where I'm taking these four award levels.
