Some highlights:
There are no changes to Premier qualifying thresholds.
Beginning January 1, 2026, all Premier 1K and above members will be able to earn even more PlusPoints. This is because PQP earned through eligible United® credit card spending will now count toward earning additional PlusPoints. There is no limit to the amount of PlusPoints you can earn.
Even more opportunities to upgrade
Beginning February 1, both PlusPoints and Complimentary Premier Upgrades (CPUs) will be eligible toward upgrades on award tickets for all Premier members.
Enhanced Polaris Saver Award availability
United Chase Cardmembers, Premier Silver and Premier Gold members are now eligible for increased access to Polaris Saver Award fares, which makes it easier to book seats in United Polaris® business class when available.
Dynamic approach to PlusPoints upgrades
Beginning in February 2027, we’ll retire the fixed chart for PlusPoints upgrade amounts and transition to a dynamic system. This change will allow the number of PlusPoints required for an upgrade to better reflect factors like demand, cabin, and more, providing members with greater flexibility.
Overall, I'm not certain these are all positive. The change to dynamic use of PlusPoints will make an already difficult currency to use all that more challenging to find flights for upgrades.
