Do you have to book through United’s site to get the bonus? Or can you book through a third party like through the Chase Ultimate Rewards to be eligible as well? (as long as you exceed the minimum purchase rate)

Hi Jose,
You would need to book through United’s site.

Yes, an Economy Plus ticket would count.

Hi, If my spouse and I both got the offer and I book our tickets under one reservation using my account, will he get the bonus miles?
Thank you.

Hi Queenie,
If he has his own United MileagePlus number, and you entered his number for his flight while booking, then yes he will get the miles.

Hi Mike,
We’ve not received word on that yet.

Mine, like yours says, “Book and Take” flights. If I booked last week but fly before June 5th, does that count?

Hi Robert. The t&c indicates, “Only transactions initiated after registration and completed on or prior to June 5, 2023 will qualify toward satisfaction of the offer requirements.” You may want to see if it’s worth canceling your flight and rebooking in order to earn the miles in the Mile Play offer. Thanks for reading!

Do one-way tickets count? I don’t read anything saying they don’t.

Hi Alan. I just read through the terms/conditions for my Mile Play Promo offer and it did not say round-trip tickets were required. It just said an itinerary with a base fare of $300 or more. This is my offer, though. Offers differ by member.
