I have about 400 United Pluspoints expiring in 2-3 weeks but can only travel in August or October. Anyone know how to use them or easy ways to find inventory?

You can upgrade me on my upcoming trips.

Shooters shoot

Also if it's expiring 7/31, you can only apply it towards flights that depart on or before 7/31

In prior years, if you've requal'd already, "sometimes" UA will extend them as a courtesy. However, these have been extended like 5 times already so chances are slim...

I paid for Seats.aero based on this forum and dumped their data. Also, emailed United asking if they can help identify inventory or extend. No help there as expected. Here are some insights based on Seats.aero data:

A lot of PZ inventory to Australia (MEL, SYD, BNE) but I’ve been there plenty so did not check prices

Some inventory to Bogota and Sao Paolo

All Europe inventory is close to or more expensive than buying straight business from competitors

Zero PZ inventory departing from US in December but plenty coming back

Plan for April 2024 if you are keen on using PlusPoints but check prices on straight business flights

Overall, pretty worthless PlusPesos, compared few business and PZ eligible economy fares and value was about $5/PlusPoint if you are lucky to find inventory.

helpful

I mean you can always try waitlisting and call in to see where you are at on the waitlist

GS or 1K?

Easiest free way to find inventory is to enable Expert Mode on United’s website, do an advanced search and select the search for upgradeable space.

Alternative is ExpertFlyer, but this isn’t free.

Damn it does but unfortunately i can't setup alerts

Built a website that makes it easier but got shutdown a few weeks ago lmao

Lol okay i guess not

If you cannot find a use for them before they expire and are feeling generous, I have a flight this coming Monday that can be upgraded by using Plus Points. Let me know!
