Over the years I’ve found United Airlines miles to be some of the most valuable due to what we’ve redeemed them for.
I’m not overly interested in flying in premium cabins. Yes, we love to fly in business or first but the destination is way more important.
Yesterday, I received an offer from United Airlines where I can earn up to 13,600 bonus miles when I meet my “personalized goals.”
There are two tier levels to the bonus, both based on spend made towards flights.
- Spend $250, earn 6,300 bonus miles
- Spend $550 (total), earn a total of 13,600 bonus miles
FYI- This offer is targeted and only those who received the e-mail can register to earn the bonus.
I’m not looking to book a paid flight at the moment or else I’d be tempted to find a deal to take advantage of this bonus offer. I think that 13,600 bonus miles is a pretty solid rebate off $550 spent on travel.

Did you receive a personalized goal offer from United? If so, what did you receive and do you plan to earn the bonus?
Yes I did only mine was for flight and dining rewards. Don’t use dining rewards and the flight on its own wasn’t enough for me to book a flight
