Over the years United miles have been some of the most valuable to the Michael W Travels family due to the destinations we’ve been able to get award flights to.

These days, I rarely read a newspaper and I can’t recall reading the Wall Street Journal more than a handful of times.

Some of you might be wondering, what do United miles and the Wall Street Journal have in common?

For a very limited time there’s a pretty sweet deal involving United and the WSJ.

For just $1 you can get 1,000 United miles and a two month subscription to the Wall Street Journal through MileagePlus Shopping.

If it was up to me, I’d love to just pay the $1 for the miles and pass on the subscription but the offer doesn’t work that way…

Here is how the offer works:

• Get a two-month trial subscription for $1.00.
• The subscription needs to be purcahsed by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on November 16, 2017.
• It needs to remain active and can not be cancelled for at least 45 days.
• There are no refunds of the $1.00 trial subscription fee.
• The offer is limited to one trial subscription per United MileagePlus account number.

Here is where you need to be careful: (according to the T&Cs)

If the member does not cancel the trial subscription by the end of the two-month trial subscription period, the member’s subscription will automatically convert to a monthly subscription, and the member’s credit card will be charged based on the terms found on the WSJ offer page.

Final Thoughts:

I signed up for the two-month Wall Street Journal trial membership since I’d like to get 1,000 United miles for just $1.

I definitely don’t want to get stuck with a monthly WSJ subscription which costs $36.99 per month. To be extra cautious, I set a reminder in my phone to cancel the membership in early January.

Do you plan on signing up for the Wall Street Journal to earn the United bonus miles?
