00:00It's Benzinga bringing Wall Street to Main Street
00:02United Airlines is targeting elite frequent flyers at Delta Airlines, an American Airlines
00:06with a status match campaign aimed at winning over rivals' high-spending customers.
00:10According to CNBC, travelers with elite status at either airline can receive comparable United
00:15status for 90 days.
00:17To keep that status through January 31, 2028, travelers must fly and meet spending requirements
00:22on United mainline or regional flights during the 90-day period.
00:26Delta and American also offer status matches, but United is taking a more direct approach
00:31by openly targeting its rivals and promoting the campaign on social media.
00:35Travel consultant Henry Hardewelt said the strategy reflects increasingly intense competition
00:39for big-spending customers and is unusually aggressive for an airline.
00:43United is using its new Starlink Wi-Fi as a selling point to lure customers from rival airlines,
00:49though the free service for frequent flyer members is not yet available across its entire fleet.
