United’s Collaboration With Jet Lag App ‘Timeshifter’ Offers Bonus Miles for MileagePlus Members

United Airlines has expanded its partnership with Timeshifter, provider of the world’s most-downloaded jet lag app, offering its members an even greater incentive to download the app and utilize its strategies while traveling.

“At United, we’re committed to continually improving the travel experience. Our collaboration with Timeshifter helps our customers adjust faster to new time zones and arrive at their best — reflecting United’s focus on innovation, well-being, and performance,” said Luc Bondar, vice president and chief operating officer of United MileagePlus.

Let’s take a look at the expanded collaboration.

Earn Bonus United Miles When You Sign Up for Timeshifter

United has offered a complimentary subscription to Timeshifter, an app that helps educate people about their own circadian rhythms and how to beat jet lag, to its top-tier Premier 1K members for some time now.

Now, the 2 companies have expanded their partnership. The complimentary subscription for 1K members remains, but now all United MileagePlus members can receive 500 bonus miles in exchange for a 1-year subscription to Timeshifter, which costs $24.99.

The Timeshifter app (iOS, Android) is designed to eliminate misconceptions surrounding jet lag and provide users with strategies on how to arrive at their destination feeling their best. It offers personalized recommendations on when to stay awake, avoid screens, get exposure to bright light, limit caffeine intake, and more — all to help the body adjust better during long trips that cross time zones.

According to a Timeshifter press release, over 96% of flyers who listened to the advice provided by Timeshifter said they didn’t experience “severe or very severe jet lag.” Conversely, those who ignored the advice reported much higher levels of severe or very severe jet lag. This data was collected from more than 130,000 surveys conducted after flights.

Clearly, Timeshifter has become a valuable resource for many flyers, and United wants to help its MileagePlus members understand and combat jet lag more easily so they can arrive at their destinations refreshed and ready to hit the ground running.
