This partnership is called <a title=\"RewardsPlus\" href=\"http:\/\/www.united.com\/rewardsplus\">RewardsPlus<\/a>. MileagePlus is offering a <a href=\"https:\/\/secure.unitedmileageplus.com\/reg\/MarriottStatusMatch.jsp\">status match<\/a> to Marriott gold elite status and better options for transferring points between the two programs. The status match is available to the following United Mileage Plus elite members: Premier Gold, Premier Platinum, Premier 1K and Global Services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A status match to Marriott Rewards Gold Elite status gives you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lounge access and breakfast at select Marriott locations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Room upgrades<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Complimentary Internet access<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Priority late check-out<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>25% bonus points and much more<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Full terms are available&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/secure.unitedmileageplus.com\/reg\/MarriottStatusMatchTC.jsp\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The status match can be requested <a href=\"https:\/\/secure.unitedmileageplus.com\/reg\/MarriottStatusMatch.jsp\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The downside is that the status match to Marriott gold status only is valid through January 31, 2014. However, it\u2019s a nice benefit for if you happen to be staying at a Marriott property during this period. I recently requested the status match and my Marriott account was almost upgraded to gold status immediately and the physical card arrived a few weeks later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All members of MileagePlus, even no status holders, can use the new options for the transferring points between the two programs. All premier members get a better exchange rate when transferring miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The general outline of the RewardsPlus miles and points benefits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>New Miles-to-Points Transfer: RewardsPlus is introducing the ability for Premier members (at all levels) to convert MileagePlus award miles into Marriott Rewards points at a 1-to-1 ratio, up to 50,000 miles per year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improved Points-to-Miles Transfer: RewardsPlus is&nbsp;improving the rate at which all members can convert their Marriott Rewards points into MileagePlus miles by offering a 20% discount off the number of points required for miles. This will be the leading conversion rate for transfer of Marriott Rewards points into airline miles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improved Mileage Earning on Travel Packages: RewardsPlus is&nbsp;offering 10% more MileagePlus award miles when members redeem for a Marriott Rewards Air and Hotel Travel package using points transferred from a Marriott Rewards account, a bonus of up to 12,000 miles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more about the program and signup at the <a title=\"RewardsPlus\" href=\"http:\/\/www.united.com\/rewardsplus\">RewardsPlus website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few months ago United Airlines announced that new benefits have been added to the partnership between United MileagePlus and Marriott Rewards.
