CHICAGO, Nov. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- What do a shark-diving
expedition, a dinner party prepared by a gourmet chef, a relaxing massage and
a new Chrysler Crossfire all have in common? They are all unique auction
items available to United Airlines' Mileage Plus(R) customers when they log
onto united.com/auctions to bid their miles on big-ticket awards, or
extraordinary life experiences.
"The Mileage Plus auction Web site is another creative way to deliver more
personalized, exclusive award choices for our most valuable Mileage Plus
members," said Kenneth Feldman, United's vice president of Loyalty and
e-commerce. "We're offering unique auction items that money can't buy, such
as a bird's eye view from the flight deck of one of United's flight simulators
and a tour of our maintenance base in San Francisco."
The Mileage Plus auction Web site is part of United's ongoing effort to
provide compelling redemption opportunities to Mileage Plus members beyond
free flights. Mileage Plus customers have long been able to enjoy the
benefits of Red Carpet Club memberships, cruise vacations, and newspaper and
magazine subscriptions. More recently, United added the opportunity to redeem
miles for hotel stays, car rentals, and music downloads. Mileage Plus
customers can also donate accumulated miles to the United Charity Miles
program. For more information, a complete list of Mileage Plus partners, or
to enroll, visit united.com.
For details and to bid your miles on exciting awards that money can't buy
but Mileage Plus Miles can, visit united.com/auctions.
