We tried to use them for air travel rewards. but had no success. Maybe they should count those attempts to use them as "activity" on your account. I will not fly United again, and if there is a class action suit, I'm in! United expired 144,000 of our miles. We tried to use them for air travel rewards. but had no success.

I've avoided them ever since -- in fact -- haven't flown them in over five years because of that. Delta confiscated all of my frequent flyer miles… almost enough for a round-trip.

You buy a refundable ticket with cash, but they won't give you your monies back. They only give you "credit" that you have to use within the year (plus a year extension possibly). If you haven't booked another flight before that time expires - they just keep the cash. That's what happened to me. In my opinion that's just the equivalent of theft. Monies taken for absolutely nothing in return. Try Jet Blue taking your hard earned money as a part of their corporate policy.

I have been a members since 1990 and I was not notified of the change ad lost more than 40,000 miles I agree this is theft and fraud and I am hoping that someone will file a class action against United for the miles that they have stolen from us frequnet flyers since the changed their expiration policy from 36 to 18 months.

United is in the business of theft and fraud. When times get tough, screw your customers.
