United Updates Mobile Application to Include TSA Pre Check Notification

JD reported a few days ago that on his flight up to Connecticut this weekend he had a new notification on his US Airways boarding pass which included a designation that he was eligible to go through TSA Pre Check. This follows Delta, which added this feature a few weeks ago.

When updating my phone yesterday I noticed that the United application was scheduled for an upgrade and I love the mobile application so I was curious what changes were coming up. To my surprise I saw that the update included:

-Enhanced mobile boarding pass, now showing TSA Pre Check

This is great news and will make it much easier for people to know if they will get the three beeps when they get to the security line. For me it's even more exciting because I just got approved for Global Entry and have a trip this weekend so I hope my luck will allow me to go through the Pre Check line for the first time!!!

Plus...it was also time to update to the newest edition of Angry Birds...so it was a mobile application update win!

1,000 HHonors Points for Joining E-Miles

JD wrote a few days ago about the great changes to the e-miles program that allows you more flexibility on the hotel or airline program that you choose to transfer your earned miles/points to. This will make it much easier than previous uses which had you transferring to just one partner that you choose and limiting your options.


But, if you haven't signed up for e-miles yet look to your inbox to see if you have been targeted for a small sign up bonus by Hilton. I received the below e-mail yesterday while I was FTU DC:

GIVE A LITTLE TIME. EARN A LOT OF POINTS.

EARN 1,000 HHONORS BONUS POINTS WHEN YOU JOIN E-MILES. As a Hilton HHonors™ member, joining e-Miles can help you earn Points faster and keep the Points you've already earned from expiring. You'll earn e-Miles miles by watching video clips online and giving your opinions about marketing messages. Register and activate your account with e-Miles today to earn 1,000 HHonors Bonus Points with this special offer for Hilton HHonors credit cardmembers. This offer is for new e-Miles members only.

If you haven't joined e-miles this is a small incentive to get you going!
