Gunnar and Kyle discuss how United Airlines provides expanded saver award availability and mileage discounts exclusively for its co-branded credit cardholders and status holders.
“So as a United Airlines Chase credit card holder, you get more expanded access to what we call saver award availability, which are those least expensive points and miles bookings that we all really love.”
“And then it goes even further where you get a 10% discount. That goes down to 72. And if you have a United card and status, it goes down to 68,000 miles for that same one way to Europe.”
