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.

Over the past few weeks, United has been selling miles for their Mileage Plus program which has been giving buyers the opportunity to receive a 100% bonus on the miles they purchase. This sale ends on August 15, so there are still a few days left to top up your mileage balances so you can redeem for those Lufthansa First Class tickets that have been relatively easy to find.
From what I gather, there may be one catch in order to be eligible for the offer and that is you need to be a United MileagePlus credit card holder. However I don’t know how tightly that will be enforced. Once you go to the Mileage Purchase page and log in, you’ll see if you are eligible for the bonus mile offer.
The sale is structured so that the more miles that are purchased, the higher bonus. It’s broken down as follows:
Buying between 5,000 and 14,000 miles will earn a 25% bonus.
Buying between 15,000 and 29,000 miles will earn a 60% bonus.
Buying between 30,000 and 75,000 miles will earn a 100% bonus.
Mileage Plus members can buy up to 150,000 miles annually for their account, including the bonus miles that are awarded at purchase.
Additionally, anyone who purchases miles during this promo will be entered into a drawing that will award winners additional miles. 1st Place will get 250,000 miles, 2nd Place will get 10000 miles, and 3 3rd Place winners will get 50,000 miles each.

There’s one more day left to take advantage of United’s offer to buy miles for as low as 1.9 cents per mile (CPM). The raw number is actually about 1.7 CPM but when you factor in the taxes/fees it adds a couple of tenths.
The discount is based on the amount of miles purchased and is tiered as follows:
Buy 5,000 – 9,000 miles: Get 25% bonus
Buy 10,000 – 29,000 miles: Get 50% bonus
Buy 30,000 – 75,000 miles: Get 100% bonus
It’s once you buy 30,000 miles or more that you’ll get the CPMs under .02 cents, which makes it a very attractive opportunity to top off your balances.
Keep in mind that you can buy up to 150,000 miles a year, so if you have any room left, then you might want to take advantage of this deal.
And you know the best way to spend them right? 😉 I’m thinking Lufthansa First or Business Class award bookings!

United is running a 2-3 day miles sale that provides a fair deal for those who need to top off their balances for award redemption.
Until October 23, Mileage Plus members can receive up to an 80% miles bonus based on the amount of miles purchased.
The schedule is as follows:
Buy 5,000 to 19,000 miles and you’ll get a 25% bonus (Approx. 2.8 cents per mile).
Buy 20,000 to 29,000 miles and you’ll get a 50% bonus (Approx. 2.3 cents per mile).
Buy 30,000 to 80,000 miles, and you’ll get an 80% bonus (Approx. 1.9 cents per mile).
Why do I bring up this offer? Simply because using United Mileage Plus miles for Business or First Class award travel on Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian or Brussels is one of the best redemption opportunities provided by Mileage Plus.
So if you are a few thousand miles away from having enough to visit the First Class Terminal in Frankfurt, here’s your chance to bridge the gap! Remember, there are new Ducks to be had!
