And United is partnering with Chase to make
it easier for customers to earn elite status.
However,
in order to benefit, you must have one of the new co branded Chase credit cards.
I think one of these cards will give customers 25 points for every $500 they spend
as well as lifts the cap on credit
card spending that can qualify towards elite status.
Currently,
travelers need 5000 qualifying points plus for flights to get silver status,
which is the airline's lowest tier.
