MileagePlus is United's award-winning loyalty program. Members earn award miles by flying United, United Express, Star Alliance airlines or other airline partners, and by purchasing products or services from a wide variety of partners worldwide. Members then may use those award miles for travel, hotel stays and car rental, in addition to everyday purchases and activities. According to the 3rd annual Switchfly Reward Seat Availability Survey published by IdeaWorksCompany in May 2012, United has the most saver-style award-seat availability among the largest U.S. global airlines. This year, United launched MileagePlus Headliners, a unique program enabling members to bid on a variety of experiences using miles, including theater and sporting event tickets, and once-in-a-lifetime trips. United also recently launched its MileagePlus Digital Media Store, a first of its kind in the airline industry, giving MileagePlus members the opportunity to use miles for music tracks, albums and movies.
