Mileage harvesting

United award price tracker

United award prices change after you book. TopTier keeps checking your booked trip and alerts you when it gets cheaper, so you can rebook and get the difference back in miles. One successful harvest could cover years of Premium.

How it works

  1. 01

    Add your booked award

    Pick it from your imported trips or enter the route, date, cabin and miles paid.

  2. 02

    TopTier keeps checking

    It compares the current price for your itinerary with what you paid, and can flag a shorter trip too.

  3. 03

    You get alerted and rebook

    When the savings pass your threshold, you rebook with United and get the difference back.

What's official vs. what TopTier does

  • Official United rule

    United prices awards on its own flights dynamically, so the miles needed can go up or down after you book.

  • Official United rule

    Award change and cancellation terms depend on your ticket and Premier status. Check United's current policy.

  • TopTier estimate

    TopTier's alerts rely on sampled availability. Always confirm the price on united.com before you rebook.
