Forums Frequent flyer programs Other frequent flyer schemes United Airlines – Using credit voucher

  • 155 posts

    I booked a flight for 4 of us recently, but now need to cancel. It gives the option to get a credit voucher. Does it need to be used for all 4 passengers or can I use the entire credit for myself? I am not registered for their flying program. It’s unlikely we’d be travelling together again for some time.

    So, if i recall correctly, they will issue a travel voucher code per person. But the codes are transferable.

    Thanks Blair. It seems that credit for tickets booked after August 2021 are not transferable so not sure if I will be allowed to use 4 credit voucher codes to book one ticket. Will check with United.

    Ah that might be the case. We had booked well before 08/2021

    Would this route work for the Amex offer? Cancel and get a voucher which then can be used for any codeshare/departure country?

    No idea, my booking is not related to the Amex voucher; it was one I made a few weeks ago but might need to cancel.

    No, because United are no longer offering a blanket voucher refund. Changes are now chargeable beyond North American flights. Also the ability to buy codeshare flights disappeared about a year ago from United.com and on phone
