EasyPurchase
Credit and debit cards are now accepted onboard

With the new EasyPurchase program, we're making the search for exact change a thing of the past. United customers are now able to use credit and debit cards for all in-flight purchases. This service is available on all United flights, with the exception of United Express.


We have now phased out cash and will only accept credit and debit cards on flights within the United States (including Hawaii), international trans-Atlantic flights and on flights to and from Canada, South America, the Caribbean, Mexico and Central America. United Express flights continue to accept only cash.


Special offers

• Use your Mileage Plus Visa card to complete your EasyPurchase transactions and you'll earn 10 miles for every dollar spent on in-flight purchases.

• Not yet a Mileage Plus Visa cardmember? Ask the flight attendant for an application on your next flight for an exclusive onboard offer.

For EasyPurchase transactions, United proudly accepts Visa and all other major credit cards including MasterCard, American Express, Discover and Diners Club, as well as debit cards bearing Visa or MasterCard logos.
