United MileagePlus Promo:  Buy Miles & Earn Up To A 50% Bonus!

United MileagePlus Promo: Buy Miles & Earn Up To A 50% Bonus!

United is at it again with another edition of their MileagePlus Miles Sale.

This time, you can earn up to 50% more miles when you buy miles for your account.   The bonus is incremental based on the amount of miles you purchase.

If you buy between 5,000 and 35,000 miles you’ll earn a 25% bonus.

If you buy over 35,000 miles you’ll earn a 50% bonus.

At maximum bonus levels, you’ll be buying miles for 2.3 cents per mile (including the bonus miles).   Not a bad deal if you need to top off your account or are missing a few miles that are keeping you from that enjoyable Lufthansa First Class seat!

The promo started yesterday and continues through May 22.   You can buy up to 150,000 miles for your account each year (including bonus miles credit).

United MileagePlus Promo:  Buy Miles & Earn Up To A 50% Bonus!

HURRY!! Only 2 Days Left In The United Mileage Plus 80% Miles Bonus Promo

Back in February, United launched one of their better miles purchase deals by offering Mileage Plus members up to 80% more miles when buying miles for their accounts.

The clock runs out on this deal at midnight on April 20, so theres still time left for those procrastinating about the purchase.

Based on feedback received from readers, it seems that few MP members are getting the 80% offer when they log into their account, but most are seeing bonus levels of 50-75%, which still makes for an attractive deal.    Attractive because of the the fun things you can do like use those miles for First or Business Class tickets on Lufthansa, or Business Class tickets on SWISS, Austrian, and Brussels.

Use this link to be taken to the Promo’s home page.   You’ll be asked to log into your Mileage Plus account, at which point you’ll see what bonus you qualify for.
