United Airlines to Send Vouchers to Phones

Now, if you get delayed or canceled flight at United Airlines, guess what, they'll be sending you a meal and hotel voucher to your phone. That's right. You get it directly to your phone. The airline says that the goal is to avoid the customer service bottlenecks at airports and long lines and hold times on call center lines. Now, rather than going to customer service or calling an agent, customers can just get a voucher right to their phones via the United app or website though, if you are not tech savvy or don't know how to do that and may not even have the app. You can still get the voucher the usual way according to United. I know you've all seen those stories that we reported on here where the lines are hour, two hour, three hours long, long people are sleeping in the airports. Well, this will hopefully help alleviate all that. Now, let's just see if we can get other airlines to do it as well.
