When it resets

One window per account year. It starts on the date your account opened, not January 1, so check your account open date.

How not to lose it

  • Find your account open date in the issuer’s app. That, not January 1, is when this credit resets.
  • Don’t wait for the last day. Statement credits can take days to post, and a purchase that settles after the window closes may not count.
  • Pay with the United Explorer Card. The credit only follows purchases charged to the card that carries it.
