So far, so good with United flights, and it's the best option out of my home airport. Since I do at least one trip per year, that keeps the miles from expiring, right?
Can't justify the MP Visa ????
Right now, they are offering 50,000 miles for a new account and waive the first year fee. (Hint - cancel the card before a year is up).
It's a no brainer. See the FlyerTalk thread http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unite...promotion.html

If you are going to do it, do it soon.
