United Airlines has added a feature to the Milage Plus program that allows points pooling:
Any MileagePlus member over 18 years old can become the pool leader and create a pool for free when logged in to their account on United.com.
- Pool leaders can invite up to four of their family, friends, or close travel companions of any age to join the pool if they have an active MileagePlus account. There is no minimum age to join MileagePlus.
- When logged in to their MileagePlus account on United.com, members will be instructed on how to contribute miles to the group pool as well as how to redeem pooled miles for award flights on United and United Express*.
- There are no limits to the number of miles that may be contributed to an active miles pool.
- Pooled miles can be used when booking a ticket on United.com or in the United mobile app.
Thoughts
There’s also rules about how fast you can join/leave pools. A 90 day waiting period between changes I think it is. Either way, this seems like a nice touch for the common traveler/family/friend group.
