Today on the Wonderland on Points Podcast, we’re thrilled to be joined by Tommy Lonergan for a deep dive into United Airlines. In this episode, we break down the MileagePlus program and explore who it still holds value for in today’s travel landscape. From how the program has evolved over the years to how you can maximize your benefits, Tommy offers insights that will help you get the most out of United.

We also tackle a topic we don’t often see discussed in the points and miles community—when is it actually a good time to buy points? Whether you’re looking to top off your account for an award booking or wondering if purchasing points is ever a worthwhile strategy, we’ve got you covered.

This episode is packed with valuable information, so whether you’re a seasoned United flyer or new to the world of airline loyalty programs, you’ll find plenty of tips to boost your travel game. Join us as we unpack the ins and outs of United’s program and give you the tools to make smarter decisions with your miles and points.
