I-United kutshanje ibhengeze utshintsho olukhulu kuyo UmayilePlus inkqubo yokuhamba rhoqo. Njengokufumana amabhaso eemayile kunye ne-United (uhlobo olukhululayo lokuhamba simahla), ukufezekisa imeko ye-elite kuya kusekelwa ikakhulu kubungakanani bemali oyichithayo kwindiza nganye ngonyaka kunokuba ubhabha kangakanani.
Utshintsho luya kuqala ukusebenza kunyaka olandelayo, nto leyo eyenza ukuba kubaluleke ngakumbi ukuqonda ukuba zithetha ukuthini kuwe xa uceba isicwangciso sakho sokuhamba se-2020.
Isimo seNkulumbuso: iziseko
Inkqubo yokuhamba rhoqo ye-United ibizwa ngokuba yi-MileagePlus. Amalungu afumana phakathi kwe-5-11 yebhaso leekhilomitha ngedola nganye echithwe kwindiza. Ezi mile ziluhlobo olunokuhlawulelwa amatikiti asimahla.
Abahambi abhabha umanyano kunye namaqabane ayo kakhulu unyaka nonyaka kwaye bachitha isixa esithile kwimali yomoya banokufumana isikhundla esiphakamileyo, okanye iNkulumbuso. Kulapho uninzi lweenguqu ezityhilwe yi-United ziya kuqala ukusebenza.
Okwangoku, amalungu e-MileagePlus anokufikelela kumanqanaba ohlukeneyo enqanaba le-Nkulumbuso ngokudibana kweemetrikhi ezimbini ngonyaka ngamnye. Eyokuqala ibetha ubuncinci beemfuno zokuchitha kwinkcitho yomoya ukusuka kwi- $ 3,000- $ 15,000 kuxhomekeke kwinqanaba lesimo.
I-metric yesibini isekwe kumgama weenqwelo moya zabo okanye inani lamaqhekeza eenqwelomoya (ukusuka nokufika emhlabeni) bagqiba unyaka ngamnye wekhalenda. Ke unokubetha inqanaba ngokuthatha uninzi lweenqwelomoya okanye ukubhabha amashumi amawaka eekhilomitha kunye nokuchitha isixa esithile kwindiza yomoya.
Ukwenza izinto zibe nzima ngakumbi, amatikiti kwiiklasi ezahlukeneyo zokufumana imali afumana amanani ahlukeneyo eeNkulumbuso-ezifanele iiMiles (PQMs) kunye neeNkulumbuso ezifanelekileyo iziQendu (PQSs).
Amatikiti oqoqosho olusisiseko afumana i-50% yee-PQM zomgama obalekileyo okanye ii-0.5 ze-PQS ngenqwelomoya. Uninzi lweendleko zoqoqosho lufumana i-100% yee-PQM ngokusekwe kumgama wenqwelomoya kunye ne-1 PQS. Amatikiti oqoqosho olupheleleyo afumana i-150% ye-PQMs kunye ne-1.5 PQS. Amatikiti esaphulelo kumgangatho wokushishina afumana i-200% ye-PQMs kunye ne-1.5 PQS, kwaye iitikiti zeshishini elipheleleyo lokuhlawulwa lifumana i-300% ye-PQM kunye ne-1.5 PQS. Iidola ezifanele iNkulumbuso (ii-PQDs) zisekwe kwi-airfare (kodwa hayi irhafu kunye nezinye iifizi) zetikiti.
Ke njengoko ubona, amatikiti abizayo ayalinganiselwa (kancinci) ekufumaneni umsebenzi ongaphezulu weNkulumbuso, nokuba ziimayile ezibalekayo okanye iinqwelomoya.
Iinqwelomoya kwi-United Alliance Star Alliance kunye nezinye iinqwelomoya zeqabane ezifana neLufthansa kunye ne-Singapore Airlines ngokubanzi zifumana ii-PQMs kunye nee-PQS ngezixa ezohlukeneyo, kodwa zuza kuphela ii-PQD ukuba uthenga itikiti lakho nge-United kwaye inenombolo yetikiti lase-United. Kroba oku njengenye yezinto zeByzantine zenqanaba elite kunye nentsebenziswano yenqwelomoya.
Ukulungela u-2019 kwinqanaba leNkulumbuso ye-United ngo-2020, nazi iimfuno zenqanaba ngalinye:
KwiNkulumbuso yeSilivere, kuya kufuneka ubhabhe ii-PQM ezingama-25,000 okanye ii-30 ze-PQS kwaye uchithe i-3,000 yee-PQDs.
KwiNkulumbuso yeGolide, kuya kufuneka ubhabhe ii-PQM ezingama-50,000 okanye ii-PQS ezingama-60 kwaye uchithe ii-PQDs ezingama-6,000.
Ukubetha iNkulumbuso iPlatinam, amanani angama-75,000 ee-PQM okanye ii-90 ze-PQS kwaye achithe ii-PQDs ezingama-9,000.
Okokugqibela, kwiNkulumbuso yeNkulumbuso ye-1K, kuya kufuneka ubhabhe ii-PQM eziyi-100,000 okanye ii-PQS ezili-120 kwaye uchithe i-15,000 yee-PQDs.
Amanani amaninzi, kodwa abantu abachitha ixesha elininzi kunye nemali kwiinqwelomoya zeUnited ngonyaka, ifomula ilungile ngokuthe ngqo.
Kusenokwenzeka ukuba ufumane ubuncinci benqanaba eliphantsi okanye eliphakathi lenqanaba labadala ngokuthatha iindlela ezimbalwa, ezingabizi kakhulu zokuhamba ngenqwelomoya ezihamba iimayile ezininzi zeNkulumbuso ngaphandle kokubeka imali eninzi.
Kungenxa yokuba amalungu e-MileagePlus anekhadi lokuthenga ngetyala elidityanisiweyo lase-United njenge-United Explorer okanye i-United Club Card esuka eChase inokuthintela iimfuno zenkcitho kwisimo ngasinye ukuya kuthi ga kubandakanya iNkulumbuso yePlatinamu ngokwenza i-25,000 yeedola okanye nangaphezulu ekuthengeni unyaka ngamnye wekhalenda.
