Ever been stuck with a United credit after a trip didn’t go as planned? That happened to me last year—I had to cancel a flight, and suddenly I had this “future flight credit” sitting in my account. At first, I wasn’t sure how to use it. A quick call to
(877-297-0699) through United’s official website cleared things up, and now I’ll never let a credit go to waste again.
What Is United Credit?
United issues two types:
Future Flight Credits (when you cancel a trip) and
Travel Credits (often when the airline cancels or changes your flight). Both can be applied toward future flights—but knowing how to redeem them makes all the difference.
How to Use United Credit (Step-by-Step)
- Log into your MileagePlus account on united.com.
- Search for flights as usual.
- At checkout, select your available credit—you’ll see it as a payment option.
- If you prefer help, calling (877-297-0699) is often faster than navigating on your own.
Pro Tip: You usually can’t combine multiple credits on one booking, so plan your trip wisely.
Smart Ways to Maximize Your Credit
I used mine to upgrade from Economy to Premium Plus—it felt like a treat without extra cost. You can also use credits for short domestic trips, or even stack them with United miles for bigger value.
Don’t Let It Expire
Many travelers lose their credits by forgetting the expiration date. United typically gives you 12 months, so mark your calendar!
