What happened
Choice Privileges has updated its airline partner list, removing Alaska Airlines and United Airlines. This change went live on Monday, May 12, 2026. As a result, Hilton guests can no longer earn points from stays that credit to Alaska's Mileage Plan or United's MileagePlus, nor can they convert Choice points to these programs. The removal follows the liquidation of Spirit Airlines, another former partner. Other North American and international partners like Qantas and Virgin Australia remain active
