Here’s a coupon that is worth far more than the usual 50 cents.
Frequent flyers can save up to $5,000 on a new Mercedes-Benz, under a special deal available through United Airlines.
United’s MileagePlus members with Premier status can get a “savings certificate” to use when buying or leasing most new Mercedes vehicles. A dozen 2013 and 2014 models are being offered in the promotion, including Mercedes’ flagship S-Class. Even an AMG model is available.
An extra reward comes with certain models. Those who choose a 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class or CLS-Class receive 25,000 bonus miles in the MileagePlus program.

Randy Petersen, an expert on frequent flyer programs, says the partnership with United is a “brilliant move” by Mercedes, which gets marketing access to millions of potential car buyers.
