You can get a one-way ticket on UA for just 12,500 miles. For even less, you can get free merchandise! For example, you can get a Hamilton Beach rice cooker for just 8,500 UA miles.

Would you THROW AWAY cash? No, you wouldn't, so why would you fail to earn those 5,000 miles a year, which you can keep alive indefinitely for a few dollars of purchases at the airline's mileage mall (or flying every 18 months if you don't want to do anything else)?
