Good afternoon everyone.  I have 2 buy miles/points flash sale deals to share.  United Airlines is offering 20,000 bonus miles when you purchase one of their 20,000 mile packages.  IHG is also offering a 100% bonus on the number of IHG Points you purchase, with a minimum purchase of 5,000 IHG Points.  If you are short on a few United Airlines miles or IHG Points for your next redemption, take a look at these promos and take advantage of the deals.  I have added both offers to our Buy Miles/Points Page.

    Great, thanks – just in time.

    BTW, some of us will also get extra points for purchasing IHG as per Accelerate offer.

          Good question. When I opted for the 20,000+20,000 mile offer, it appeared to be a purchase from United, not Points.com. (https://buymiles.mileageplus.com/mileage-plus/en-US/buy) I checked out the link to buy a different amount of miles and that definitely went to Points.com.

          The transaction showed up on my credit card ambiguously: POINTS UNITED MILES. So, I’m not sure if my purchase was with United or Points. I’ll find out when the charge posts.

    I happened to see UA’s e-mail as it came in. I snagged the 100% bonus. Still, I wonder if the purported 1000-person limit is genuine or just a gimmick to prompt immediacy.
