We're also doubling PQP for United Explorer cards and quadrupling PQP for the United Club cards.

At the same time that we're decreasing the published program's PQP requirements, via a promotion from May 1 – December 31, 2020, we're doubling (for United Explorer cards) or quadrupling (for United Club cards) the maximum number of PQP that Cardmembers can earn from card spending during 2020 to help achieve a higher level of status than you already have. Not an Explorer or Club Cardmember, learn more about each card and new Cardmember welcome offers.

1K® and Platinum members, we're increasing your ability to upgrade by extending PlusPoints expiration dates by six months and expanding Skip Waitlist.

This means a six-month extension of any PlusPoints set to expire on or before January 31, 2021.

Last year we introduced Skip Waitlist on select flights as a benefit to 1K members, giving you more opportunities to confirm an upgrade request at the time of booking. This benefit will now be available for the rest of 2020 in a significantly expanded selection of long-haul international regions and will have expanded availability in 2021 as well.

We're extending all annual membership and subscription benefits by six months.

We want to make sure your benefits are still there when you're ready to start flying again. That's why we're extending purchased United Club℠ memberships purchased directly from United and purchased subscriptions for Economy Plus®, United Wi-Fi℠ and checked bags by six months. You should see this reflected in your MileagePlus account soon.

All electronic travel certificates now have 24 months to be used.

If your travel plans have been disrupted, and you have an electronic travel certificate from us for the value of your ticket, you now have two years from the date it was issued to book a new flight, as well as up to an additional 11 months to travel. This includes all currently valid and all new electronic travel certificates issued on or after April 1, 2020.

We have removed some redeposit fees for the rest of the year.

We may have fee waivers in effect for your award travel. Please visit our Important notices page for the most updated information.

We are now also waiving all redeposit fees for award ticket cancellations made more than 30 days before departure for the remainder of 2020.

Finally, we'll be making it easier to earn status in 2021 for the 2022 program year. We recognize that getting back to travel will occur at a different pace for different members. Keep an eye out for changes we will make to help you earn status in 2021 for 2022, as we'll share details later this year.

Over the years, you have placed your trust and loyalty in United, and we are honored to do the same for you. We are all in this together.

*Status extension to January 31, 2022, applies to all members that met the published criteria for MileagePlus Premier Silver, Gold, Platinum, or 1K status in 2019, or members who have 2020 Silver, Gold, Platinum, or 1K status associated with certain sales nominations or status granted with the United/Marriott RewardsPlus program. Status granted from other programs and policies may not apply.

Additionally, we're partnering with Alo Moves — an online wellness platform for home and on the go — to give MileagePlus members 30 days of complimentary access to thousands of online yoga, fitness and meditation classes. Members can stream classes on their phone, tablet or the web, or downloaded classes to practice offline to start or maintain their fitness and wellness practice from the comfort of their home.

MileagePlus members can start a 30-day free trial through Alo Moves with no strings attached — no credit card is required to redeem the 30-day free trial. To get started, members can create an account at alomoves.com/unitedmileageplus. We're also offering 1,000 bonus miles to members who choose to start a membership with Alo Moves after their free trial.
