Upgrades are one of the best ways to turn your miles into luxury, but tracking them on United Airlines can be a hassle. Whether you’re using PlusPoints, miles, or miles with a copay, the process often feels like crossing your fingers and hoping for the best.
Introducing PointsYeah’s United Upgrade Alerts, a Premium-exclusive feature that simplifies the process completely.
What Are United Upgrade Alerts?
United Airlines Upgrade Alerts let you track availability for upgrades from Economy or Premium Economy into Business Class or First on flights operated by United. This includes:
- ✅ Upgrades using PlusPoints
- ✅ Upgrades using miles
- ✅ Upgrades using miles with a copay
- ❌ Codeshare and partner airlines are not included
Whether you’re aiming for a flat-bed seat to Europe or a domestic first class upgrade, PointsYeah watches availability for you and sends an alert as soon as something opens up.
How It Works:
Here’s how simple it is to set an alert:
- Select Your Route: Choose your departure and destination cities.
- Pick Your Travel Date or Range: You can monitor a single day or a broader date range.
- Optional: Enter a specific United flight number if you only want nonstop tracking.
- Confirm and Track: That’s it. We take care of the monitoring and send you updates.
Each day you track counts as one alert and can set up to 32 active alerts at once.
Scanning Frequency: We start monitoring upgrade availability once per day when your departure is more than a month away. As your travel date approaches, the frequency increases. In the final days before departure, we scan every hour, helping you catch last-minute upgrade openings as soon as they appear.
What Makes This Feature Special?
Unlike other platforms that focus on cash fares or general award space, PointsYeah’s Upgrade Alerts are built specifically for travelers using miles, PlusPoints, or miles and a copay. The feature lets you monitor all United-operated flights between your selected cities, giving you the flexibility to track either a specific flight number or an entire route.
Once your alert is set, we’ll keep an eye on availability for you and send you a notification the moment an upgrade opens up. It’s designed for frequent flyers who value their time and don’t want to miss an opportunity to sit up front.
Premium-Only, and Worth Every Point
United Upgrade Alerts aren’t just useful. They’re powerful, and they’re only available to PointsYeah Premium Members. This feature alone can be worth the upgrade for anyone who flies United regularly or wants to travel more comfortably without wasting time hunting for upgrade space.
But the value doesn’t stop there. Premium gives you access to the full suite of advanced tools designed to help you find better flights, faster, and make the most of every single point you have.
