I just received in the mail a promotion from E*Trade for 5,000 United Mileage Plus miles for every $10,000 transferred into my E*Trade account (up to a maximum of 25,000 miles) good through April 15, 2000.

Small print on the back of the offer "Excludes non-US residents, not valid for IRA and other retirement accounts, transfer forms must be received by 4/15/00"

Sounds pretty good for just having to let your money sit for 6 months?
