No - the perks are the bonus UA miles. You have to work out yourself how much those extra miles are worth to you (anywhere from 2x to 8x dollars spend, depending on cabin class, credit card used, and promotions) versus what other TA's might offer in terms of OBC or other benefits. For me, the UA miles far outweigh typical OBC offers.
