Earn Up To 40K Bonus Miles When You Fly United (YMMV)

United is offering tiered bonus miles when you meet a certain threshold of spending on United flights. The offer you get will vary based on your MileagePlus number. To check what offer you get, you have to go to this link and enter your MileagePlus number to view your personalized offer. In the two accounts that I checked I received offers for a total of 40K and 30K miles.

The bonus is cumulative, so once you spend $2,000, you’ll earn all three bonuses. Make sure you register for the offer first before booking anything. Registration is required by November 15, 2016. Only tickets purchased and ticketed after registration and within the ticketing dates will qualify. Only dollars spent on the “fare” on eligible flights operated by United and United Express will qualify toward meeting spending milestones

Offer Terms

For this promotion, only dollars spent on the “fare” on eligible flights operated by United and United Express will qualify toward meeting spending milestones. Certain specialty tickets, including but not limited to unpublished, consolidator/bulk, group, tour and opaque fares, will not be counted towards spending milestones. Dollars spent on tickets purchased for flights operated by a Star Alliance member airline or a MileagePlus partner airline with tickets issued by United (ticket number starting with “016”) will not qualify for this offer. The “fare” is the base fare of the ticket plus carrier-imposed surcharges, excluding any government-imposed taxes and surcharges. For tickets purchased in a currency other than U.S. dollars, we will convert the purchase to U.S. dollars using an industry-standard exchange rate. Please note that the price displayed when purchasing a ticket on united.com includes up to a 7.5% U.S. Federal Transportation Tax on the base amount of the fare on itineraries wholly within the United States. This tax also applies to certain itineraries between the United States and Canada or Mexico. The U.S. Federal Transportation tax will not count toward meeting any spending milestone.

Partial bonuses will not be awarded for members who don’t reach a certain milestone. All calculations made in connection with this offer will be made by United MileagePlus® in its discretion and considered final.
