With 2008 Elite Choice you can earn rewards faster and team up to win a million miles

We are pleased to announce 2008 Elite Choice – the program that allows you to choose your own rewards as you continue to fly United. Enhanced for this year, Elite Choice now offers a lower first milestone of just 30,000 EQM or 35 EQS, so you can earn rewards faster.

Plus, you can now nominate a general-level member to elite status at the first milestone, and you’ll earn bonus miles based on how much your nominee flies this year.

To register for this year’s program and to see a list of the rewards that await, visit
united.com/2008choice by September 7, 2008.

Like a little friendly competition? U.S. residents have a chance to earn our biggest reward ever with our United Elite Team Contest. Simply join with three other members to form your team. Then, earn more total EQM this year than you earned collectively in 2007. The 50 teams with the largest increase in EQM will win an exciting reward package to share, including:

  • One million redeemable miles
  • 50,000 EQM and 50 EQS
  • Eight confirmed regional upgrades
  • Eight United Red Carpet Club® one-time passes
BONUS: The first 250 teams to register will receive 1,000 EQM (250 EQM per member), so start drafting your team of all-stars today! For details, visit united.com/2008choice.

Good luck... and enjoy all the rewards you earn with United.

Mileage Plus miles in accounts that are inactive for 18 months will expire

New policy takes effect December 31, 2007.

By shortening the amount of time a Mileage Plus account can remain inactive, our most loyal customers will compete with fewer people for award seats, making it easier for you to redeem your miles.

Our new mileage expiration policy states: Mileage Plus accounts that have not earned or redeemed miles since July 1, 2006 will have miles in that account expire on December 31, 2007.

You are invited to experience the new
San Francisco airport lobby

The next time you travel through San Francisco International Airport, you’ll will find enhancements to the United lobby and other key check-in features.

You will be able to enjoy a fresh and more inviting atmosphere overall, including state-of-the-art flat-panel flight information displays.

Integral to the upgrades are new counters and more clearly segmented lines designed to ensure your check-in experience is fast and consistent every time you fly.

If you are traveling domestically, please check-in at the original Premier Lobby area, located at Door 8. For those of you who prefer to simply use our Easy Check-in kiosks, we’ve installed nearly three times the number of kiosks, all in a more centralized area for your convenience

You will also continue to have your own security line for check-in to facilitate a faster arrival at your departure gate. Our Global Services members, and those of you traveling International United First, will also enjoy Priority Security, with front-of-the-line access for security clearance.

United has an ongoing commitment to improve the airport experience for you, our most-loyal customers.
