Just did all of this. Should I also sign up for this Mileage Plus Visa and then cut it up and throw it away for 21k bonus miles?

Thank you!

There are a variety of bonus mile offers which come and go, and there is a forum to discuss that. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/forum...ysprune=&f=599

There is a program associated with the United College Plus program. It is a no-fee VISA and I'm not aware that there was ever a bonus.

The experience of my two daughters is that they can keep the no-fee VISA
indefinitely.
