United Airlines flyers, take note: the era of the “cashless cabin” has arrived. Beginning March 23rd, United will no longer accept cash for onboard purchases. This move has paved the way for other airlines who will soon require plastic for purchases made during flights.
The arrival of a cashless system has been a long time coming. United said that it has tested this system over the past year, and has received a positive response from customers.
This change takes place soon after United announced that it will launch a new credit card with MBNA. United wants customers to use the credit card for onboard purchases so that they can take advantage of competitive interest rates and reward points.
Credit cards are a good finance option for travelers. Unlike cash purchases, credit card transactions offer fraud protection. They also protect consumers from merchants who don’t deliver the goods they promised.
It looks like the idea of a cashless cabin is taking hold; Southwest and Alaska Airlines have announced that they will soon follow suit. If you’re preparing to fly, brings your cards along for safe and convenient purchase power.
