The promotion valid on select flights to Asia, Australia and Europe departing between 9 January and 21 March 2023.
Plus, cardholders can save up to 30% on flights booked between tomorrow and December 2, 2022, depending on the offer they’re targeting.
These discounted prizes are for the economy available only, so here are some tips for long-haul flight in economy.

You can find these deals by searching for bonus flights on the United website as usual. You just need to make sure you’re signed in to the United account associated with your status or a co-branded credit card.
Here are some examples we found while searching on an account targeted for 50% off. These routes and dates are not exhaustive, so do your own research and see if you can find flights that match your desired itinerary as the deals are quite popular.

Newark to Dublin for 18,000 miles in economy
Chicago to Paris for 18,000 in economy

bottom line
This sale is a great way to redeem United miles in your account — or you can transfer right from a credit card program such as Chase Ultimate Rewards – but you’ll have to act quickly. The biggest 50% discount is only available today, November 28, 2022. However, bookings made before December 2 are still eligible for a smaller discount.
Remember, United no longer charges a prize re-deposit, so it may be worth booking an award ticket now even if you don’t have a 100% sure-fire travel plan. Likewise, if you have a United award flight coming up soon, check to see if you can save miles by rebooking for a lower price.
