Earn Double Miles For School Expenses w/ United Mileage Plus Visa


Now is a great time to use your Mileage Plus Visa to pay at school. Simply spend $1,000 over the next 6 months on expenses paid to schools - and you'll earn Double Miles for every dollar you spend above that amount. That includes tuition, school bookstore purchases, season football tickets and more.

The double miles offer applies to purchases made with your card from July 1, 2004 through December 31, 2004 at educational institutions classified by Visa and MasterCard as Colleges, Universities, Professional Schools, Junior Colleges, Elementary Schools and Secondary Schools. Elementary and Secondary Schools include public and private schools, parochial schools, and boarding schools. Your United Mileage Plus credit card account must be open and not delinquent in order to receive double miles at the time the miles are to be posted. When you qualify for double miles, they will be reflected on your monthly credit card statement approximately 4-6 weeks following the end of the promotion. This double miles offer is non-transferable. The maximum reward accumulation during this period is 60,000 bonus miles.

If you were not a cardmember as of May 31, 2004 please call 1-800-537-7783 to enroll in this promotion.
