If you’re a MileagePlus member looking to make the most of your United miles, you’re in the right place. The year 2025 is a period of significant transformation for the program, with major devaluations, exciting new partnerships, and brand-new premium cabins on the horizon. Since United moved to a dynamic pricing model, finding the best value “Saver Awards” has become a real challenge.

This week, United Airlines is rolling out discounted awards with a different mystery destination each day. These deals offer significant savings, but they are available for one day only.

United Airlines announced a significant expansion of its flight network across North America, adding over 100 daily departures during summer 2024, and targeting popular outdoor destinations. The move comes after noticing the rising interest in nature-centric travel post-pandemic.

United recently finished their Polaris Business rollout to all planes in their fleet. It’s a new concept for their business class product spanning everything from lounges to cabins to food and drink. I recently tried it out on a flight from Washington to São Paulo.

United MileagePlus is often praised as one of the best airline loyalty programs, but is it really the smartest way to redeem miles in 2025? With rising award costs and unpredictable pricing, some travelers argue that MileagePlus isn’t as rewarding as it used to be. However, for those who know where to look, there are still plenty of valuable sweet spots that make it possible to stretch your miles further than you might expect.
