Members of United’s MileagePlus programme are now able to enjoy a bonus of up to 100 per cent award miles between September 2 and September 4.
The maximum bonus available is based on the number of MileagePlus members worldwide who purchase miles during the short three-day promotional period.
Basically, the more members who buy miles, the greater everyone’s bonus.
You won’t know how many bonus miles you got until the promotion has ended.
So how do you do it? Well, MileagePlus members may visit united.com/100bonus to purchase miles, and to check on the progress of the bonus. At the time of writing, 324 transactions have been made which means that as things currently stand, members will receive 40 per cent bonus miles.
The aim is to reach more than 4,500 qualifying transactions in order to receive the full 100 per cent bonus.
