Thank you for contacting Member Services.
We sincerely appreciate your interest in the Redeem Points portion of the MyPoints Program. At MyPoints, we strive to have a variety of vendors available to maximize Point-spending opportunities for our members. Unfortunately 5,000 United miles rewards are not available for redemption at this time. Offers on the MyPoints site may change from time-to-time, and we apologize for any inconvenience. Please be sure to check the "Redeem" section of the site to see great offers that are currently available. In addition, please let us know if you have any questions.
Thank you for your valued membership.
Sincerely,
This might have been in no small part due to a redemption that I had made in August. They researched the redemption several times and ultimately found out that UNited was no longer honoring requests from MyPoints. I finally got the points refunded in December, but United confirmed that they do not currently have a partnership in place anymore with MyPoints. Not sure how temporary or permanent this is.
