No way to fund the registry. Log into united.com Set up a gift registry for yourself Use the link in your gift registry web page to send an announcement to your email address. This better, faster, and more reliable than searching for your gift registry, especially if you have a common name. Even someone with an unusual surname like mre5765 has could not find his registry after creating it. Log out of united.com Follow the Make Contribution in your gift registry email Contribute using your Amex platinum card |
I created my registry over a year ago.
I sent an announcement and no emails so far. I found the original registry announcement and I click Make Contribution and it goes to a page with buttons to Create Registry, Manage Registry and search by name. Search by name doesn't find anything. |

Has anyone got the airline credit recently from buying gift cards in the Mileage Plus X app.?
People were buying Amex gift cards last year and they got the credit back. But lately people are saying it no longer works. How about other kinds of gift cards, like they have gift cards for things like Starbucks, Panera Bread, etc. |

They also seem to have some kind of gift certificates and even have a page where you enter the number to check the balance.
But I see no way to buy gift certificates. |

We've decided to discontinue the United gift certificate program, so gift certificates are no longer available for purchase. You can redeem any existing gift certificates and check your balance on the Check Gift Certificate Balance page. You can still help your family and friends get to where they want to go by purchasing gift miles. On the Buy Miles page, simply select “Give Miles” and log in to your MileagePlus account to get started. We also invite you to check out united.com gift registry to see if your favorite traveler is registered to receive the gift of United flights. |
The registry can be used to purchase tickets for any traveler, even if account holder isn't traveling, correct?
|
After adding money, how do you redeem? I don't see any options on checkout for Gift Registry, but assuming since I just added $ it's b/c it's within 24 hours?
|
Can registry be combined with another payment option? I assume one credit card is possible.
What about a credit with united. I have a cancelled ticket from last year that I must use up and i would like to merge it with this travel bank. (E.g. $300 from credit w united + $200 for a $500 flight) Thanks // edit the cancelled ticket credit I was told can be used for any route that's marketed by united. It need not be the original route or United metal. |
I purchased another $ 200.00 for the travel bank on Sunday. Posted today but no credit yet. I didn't make a new choice after Dec 31, I assume as long as I don't make a change they keep UA as my
preferred airline.Hope my assumption was correct. |

From the T&C at https://www.united.com/web/en-US/con...ravelbank.aspx TravelBank cash cannot be used as a form of payment in combination with PayPal Credit, online check by TeleCheck®, Alipay, cash, gift certificates or United Airlines travel certificates.

Datapoint: Personal plat, created registry and contributed $200 on 12/27, refund $200 posted on 12/28.
(I was going to do the same for my PRG $100, but forgot to do it before the end of the year, duh!) |
Seems like Platinum credits very fast, but so far, two PRG cards doing it on the same day as two platinums haven't credited yet, but the Plats have...
|
Purchased United Gift Registry for Myself. Charge posted and credited in a few days. Still working for 2017. Thanks UA and AMEX..
