Updated at 10pm PT on 5/10: It looks like some readers are getting up to 100% bonus offers from United Airlines.
Good afternoon everyone. United Airlines has a great buy miles promo currently running through May 24. It is a mystery offer, so depending on your account, you may see an offer for up to 75% bonus, or you might see a higher or lower offer. I checked my family’s United Airlines account and 75% bonus was the highest offer I saw, but it is possible that there are higher bonuses too. If you are a few hundred / thousand United Airlines miles away from redeeming for an award ticket, it might be a great idea to buy the remaining United Airlines miles. This promo runs for 2 more weeks and ends on May 24, so you have 2 weeks to decide. If you want to see other buy miles and hotel points promos, click here.
United Airlines must not like my parents or grandparents as much as me, since they were only offered up to a 60% bonus. I crunched the numbers and here are the costs per mile, depending on what bonus you qualify for:
- 75% bonus: 2.15 CPM
- 60% bonus: 2.35 CPM
- 50% bonus: 2.51 CPM
- 40% bonus: 2.69 CPM
- 25% bonus: 3.01 CPM
Obviously, the 75% bonus is the best, but a 50% or 60% bonus is not bad either, depending on how much you save on your United Airlines award ticket.
If you have any questions about this United Airlines buy miles promo, please leave a comment below. Have a great day everyone!

Dang, United Airlines really likes you :)
My wife got the same 100% offer but if we are buying, it would be on my account because of my UA Silver status through Marriott Platinum which displays better availability of the UA search engine.
Good point, hopefully you can find better award space from your account.
I was offered 100% also. But not buying at this time….
