United Airlines has announced changes to its MileagePlus loyalty program, effective for tickets purchased starting April 2, that tie earning rates to credit card ownership. Members without a United card will earn fewer miles, while cardholders receive higher rewards and additional perks. The move aims to incentivize loyalty through a combination of benefits and reduced earnings for non-card users.
