Are there any United Airlines elites feeling generous to donate some Plus Points? I’m trying to upgrade myself to Polaris without status. 🙏🙏🙏

Just out of curiosity why would anyone donate their points for this? Either buy the ticket or fly economy

I apologize I didn’t know they were expiring. Was not implying anyone was an ass

DM me. I have a bunch expiring in January. Just make a donation to a charity of my choice.

It's very easy to upgrade without status - just donate some money to United.

If you have no status and you have almost no chance to get upgraded even with plus points. There are like thousands of global services and millions of 1Ks ahead of you. I’m a 1K and couldn’t get upgraded on an international flight when I already bought premium economy. Flight had 27 Polaris biz class left 2 weeks ahead of departure date and filled right up in the 2 weeks

All of the GS and 1K members will be trying to use their plus points. There are just too many plus points and too little upgrade inventory. That’s the sad reality. Like I said - if you don’t have status with United, you can pretty much forget it on an international flight. Trust me the Polaris seats will fill up, fast.

Plus points are a scam. Hardly ever work. Even with status.

Yeah, that’s what I heard. In terms of priority on the waiting list, I’m in the second group. The seating chart shows - 25 open seats in Polaris on a 777 metal flying to Tokyo

Curious, how much is it to just upgrade?

Oh hell no lol
