The Offer
- United is offering bonus miles under their Mile Play promotion when you complete certain requirements before January 31st, 2019. Everybody receives a different offer based on their flying history.
The Fine Print
- Flights must be completed by January 31st, 2019
Our Verdict
They have offered this bonus a number of times before. Generally they structure the deals so it will require more flights than you’d normally complete within that time frame. It’s also important to remember you need to register and only flights booked after registering actually count.

I got a crappy offer not even worth thinking about. Any way to get them to up it? I could visit family for a weekend.
does fare include taxes?
Mine seems to be a slightly different flavor: Book and take a trip in a premium cabin 2 times by January 31, 2019
to get 110,000 bonus award miles.
SO got 14k last night! I didn’t tell her. This morning she booked work flight on AA. Doh!
1 flight with $350 or more fare= 12k miles. Pretty decent, might consider. I’m not opening cc’s for a while bc app’ing for a mortgage in a year or so.

Actually just purchased a RT $762 flight this morning before seeing this article, would be kicking myself but one of the legs was only $211 at the time of purchase so it’s fine.
interestingly mine is airport-specific: Book and take a trip to or from New York/Newark (EWR) 1 time to get 2,500 bonus award miles.

Sweet deal, got fly 2 times $350+ each for 26,000 miles.
Only flown UA once this year on a $500 biz ticket so that might be a factor.
