United once again is trying to incent us to buy miles and it’s hard to resist if you still have room to by miles this year.
The latest sale offers a bonus of up to 75% and the deal is in place until October 31. In order to get the 75% bonus, you need to buy at least 30,000 miles. Buying 30,000 miles will get you a bonus of 22,500 miles for a total of 52,500 miles and will cost about $1100 including taxes. That amounts to 2.09 cents per mile (CPM), which makes for an attractive proposition, especially if you are short a handful of miles for premium award travel redemptions.
If you buy between 5,000 and 14,000 miles, you’ll get a bonus of 25%, if you buy between 15,000 and 29,000 miles you’ll get a 50% bonus. You can buy a maximum of 85,000 miles which will give you a bonus of 63,750 miles for a total of 148,750 miles.
From my observations lately, it’s been a bit easier to find Lufthansa First and Business Class inventory and even Austrian and SWISS Business class awards. This may actually be a good time to take advantage of a deal like this.

United has launched a 4 day mile sale within Mileage Plus. The deal is pretty good if you need to top off your accounts and you missed the last sale a few weeks ago.
Like with other sales, the more miles you buy, the better the bonus:
Buy 5,000 miles or more, get a 20% bonus (5,000 + 1,000 = 6,000 miles for $175.00)
Buy 15,000 miles or more, get a 40% bonus (15,000 + 6,000 = 21,000 miles for $525.00)
Buy 30,000 miles or more, get a 67% bonus (30,000 + 20,100 = 50,100 miles for $1050.00)
Keep in mind that you are limited to purchasing 150,000 miles per account per year.
