Not exactly the news I wanted to hear as United is my priority program to collect miles in at the moment.  If you haven’t already, please see my post on how to use Pointshound to get airline miles for booking eco-lodges.

Dear Tara,

You’re receiving this message because you signed up for PointsHound and added a United MileagePlus number to your account.

We wanted to make you aware that United and PointsHound have decided to discontinue our partnership at this time.  As of July 24^th 2013, we’ll no longer be offering MileagePlus miles on new hotel reservations made through PointsHound.com.

For reservations made before July 24^th, there’s no need to worry.  We will deposit miles according to our normal process and schedule.

PointsHound was created as a platform for earning any type of loyalty points and miles so we are committed to restoring our partnership with United. In the meantime, we work with nine other loyalty rewards currencies and are continuing to add new ones regularly.

That’s why we’re confident PointsHound can continue providing great benefits to you.

In appreciation of your early support of PointsHound, we’ve upgraded your account a level so you’ll earn more miles with every hotel booking you make with us. We’ve also added a 1,000 point bonus to your account which can be claimed in the program of your choice on your next booking.   To redeem this booking bonus, please make sure to log in to your My Account page and update your earning preference and account numbers.

If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact either of us directly.

Thanks again for your support.

 

At least they are honoring the United miles on the 3 bookings I already have.  For the time being, I have added American AAdvantage in my profile for future bookings.  Hopefully they will restore United as a partner soon!
