United Airlines has rolled out a new round of Mile Play promotions, offering bonus miles to targeted members who complete specific tasks. This is a great opportunity to earn extra miles, even if you’re unsure about your travel plans.
TPG staff members have already received targeted offers, with the terms varying depending on the individual. Only paid flights marketed and operated by United and United Express will count towards Mile Play offers.
For example, TPG’s Tarah Chieffi, who is not a frequent United Airlines flyer, received an offer to book and take one trip to earn up to 9,000 bonus miles in the next 53 days. On the other hand, TPG’s managing cruise editor, Erica Silverstein, was offered 12,000 bonus miles for booking and taking three trips with fares of $225 or more each.
Senior points and miles writer Katie Genter received two offers from United, one for completing two trips and earning 2,900 bonus miles, and another for completing three activities like dining with MileagePlus Dining and shopping through MileagePlus Shopping.
Even TPG’s senior reporter, Zach Griff, with Premier 1K status, received an offer for 5,000 bonus miles for booking and completing four trips with a minimum fare of $300 each.
Other TPG staffers and their loved ones also received enticing offers, such as earning up to 7,100 bonus miles for booking and taking two trips with fares of $150 or more each.
Whether or not you’re targeted for this promotion, you can still earn bonus United miles by opening a new United credit card. The United℠ Explorer Card, United Quest℠ Card, United Club℠ Infinite Card, United Gateway℠ Card, and United℠ Business Card all offer generous sign-up bonuses.
In conclusion, it’s worth checking your eligibility for United’s Mile Play promotions and considering whether it’s time to plan a trip to take advantage of these bonus miles.
