"We've partnered with United MileagePlus to provide real-time processing of your mileage transfer requests. No more waiting 4 to 6 weeks for the miles to appear in your MileagePlus account.

From now until August 31, 2014, you may redeem your e-Miles miles for MileagePlus award miles in increments of 250 miles instead of 500 miles.

Win back any e-Miles miles that may have been expired due to inactivity by engaging with and earning miles on 5 or more offers before August 1, 2014."
