4 Days Only:   Buy Mileage Plus Miles And Earn Up To A 60k Mile Bonus!

4 Days Only: Buy Mileage Plus Miles And Earn Up To A 60k Mile Bonus!

United has launched a quick Mileage Sale that lasts until March 31.  With this version of the sale, you can earn up to a bonus of 60,000 additional miles based on how many miles you buy.

 

The bracket for the bonus miles is as follows:

  • Buy between 5,000 and 14,000 miles and you’ll earn an additional 20% in miles.
  • Buy between 15,000 and 29,000 miles and you’ll earn an additional 40% in miles.
  • Buy between 30,000 and 89,000 miles and you’ll earn an additional 67% in miles.
  • Buy 90,000 miles and receive 60,0000 bonus miles.

Please remember that you can only buy 150,000 miles per account per calendar year.    Any bonus miles received during this kind of sale counts towards the 150,000 limit.

Recently, I’ve noticed better award inventory for Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian, and Brussels operated flights, so a deal like this might be worth taking advantage of if your looking for a great way to fly to Europe or beyond.

United MileagePlus Sale: Up To 75% Bonus Miles + Chance To Win 1,000,000 Miles!

United has launched a miles sale promo for MileagePlus members that will award you with up to 75% more miles when you purchase miles for your account.

The promo is tiered so the more miles you purchase the better the bonus becomes.   In addition to the bonus, you’ll get 1 or 2 entries into a contest that will award its winner 1,000,000 miles which is plenty for a few First Class roundtrips on Lufthansa!

The brackets break down as follows:

If you buy between 5,000 and 14,000 miles, you’ll get a 25% miles bonus and 1 entry into the sweepstakes.

If you buy between 15,000 and 29,000 miles you’ll get a 50% miles bonus and 1 entry into the sweepstakes.

If you buy between 30,000 and 85,000 miles you’ll earn a 75% miles bonus and 2 entries into the sweepstakes.

In doing the math you’ll pay about 2.8 cents per mile (CPM) if you buy between 5,000 and 14,000 miles (plus 25% bonus).    Buying between 15,000 and 29,000 miles (plus  50% bonus) will give you a CPM of  2.3 cents.    Buying over 30,000 miles (plus 50% bonus) will net you a cost of 2 cents per mile.

The promo is set to expire on March 9, 2018.   You can buy 150,000 miles per year per Mileage Plus account, and the miles you buy do not count towards status attainment.

Mileage Plus CYBER TUESDAY Deal: 100% More Miles on Purchases of 20,000 Or More Miles

Mileage Plus has launched a quick, 24 hour ‘Cyber Tuesday’ deal for miles for their members.

Until midnight tonight, anyone that buys at least 20,000 miles for their Mileage Plus account will be credited with a 100% bonus.   Usually the 100% bonus is reserved for higher amounts, but not in this case.

At the 20,000 mile threshold, it will cost $700.00 for the miles.   With the 100% credit, you’ll wind up paying only 1.75 cents per mile.   The cost per mile stays the same once you are at the 20k breakpoint.    There are no further CPM discounts for higher mile amounts.

If you buy between 5000 and 9000 miles, you’ll get a 40% bonus, and if you buy between 10,000 and 19,000 miles you’ll get a 60% bonus.

Remember, the deal ends tonight at midnight.

Miles & More Members:  20,000 Miles for 1.5 Cents Per Mile……

Miles & More Members: 20,000 Miles for 1.5 Cents Per Mile……

Normally, it’s quite hard to find a good Miles & More deal for earning miles that doesn’t involve flying anywhere.   However, when these rare non-flight related deals come up, they’re usually quite good.

That’s the case at the moment.

getAbstract has long been a partner of Miles & More and typically provides a deal where you get 15,000 miles for signing up for their ‘Pro’ Subscription.   Until November 30th, they’ve sweetened the deal and will award you 20,000 miles for signing up.

What is getAbstract?

Call it ‘ Cliffs Notes ‘ for adults.    It is a service that provides executive summaries for thousands of books across the non-fiction space including Business, History, Self-Improvement, Biographies, etc.etc.    Using their app or desktop you can easily access their library no matter where you are.

It’s actually a useful program whose benefits I think may even out weigh the value of the miles that you’ll receive.

The cost of the subscription is $299/year so when doing the math, it distills down to  1.495 cents per mile.   I’ve been hard pressed to find anything that comes close to getting this many miles in one deal for such a low cost.  Considering ‘Meilenschnappchen’ deals let you redeem Economy roundtrips for 30,000 miles or 55,000 miles for Business Class Roundtrips between the USA and Europe, getting 20,000 miles for only $299 works out quite nicely.

The deal for the 20,000 miles expires on November 30, at which point the offer will probably revert back to only getting 15,000 miles.

If you do decide to sign up, here’s a tip:

Normally, getAbstract gives you a 30 day money back guarantee period which delays your miles from crediting until after 30 days.   However, if you email them asking them to waive the return period, they’ll credit your miles within a few days.

To learn more about the deal, please visit the getAbstract promo on the Miles & More website.  Scroll down to the bottom of that page and you’ll see the ad box showing an additional 5k miles bonus being advertised.
