FREE 1,000 United Miles via Thanks Again Visa Offers

I posted this over at Slickdeals aready, but thought I'd repost here.

***

Thanks Again, another service that tracks where you spend your credit card at, has a special enrollment bonus of 1000 free miles for enrolling in their version of Visa Offers.

I've only tried doing this through United to get United Mileageplus Miles. Here is how you do it:

Go to United.com
Go to > Mileageplus > Earn Award Miles > Gifts, flowers, wine, daily deals and more > Thanks Again
Register for a new Thanks Again account (existing users, you can sign in as long as you originally registered through United. Otherwise, you won't be able to get united miles.)
Once you're done registering, click on "My Account".
Underneath your billing info, there should be a link that says "Click Here to Join Thanks Again Offers." Click on it. (There is also a skyscraper-style vertical banner ad on the right side that you can click.)
The offer should appear saying you'll receive 1000 miles for signing up for this Visa Offers. Note two things: 1) you have to enroll your phone via text message, 2) you have to register a visa credit card with this offer. They will track the spending on that card.
That's it! Just wait. Once you're registered, bonus miles should deposit in 4-6 weeks to your Thanks Again account. Awesome. (Takes an additional 4-6 weeks to post from Thanks Again account to your United miles account.)

Free miles? Let's celebrate.

Additional Notes:

You are enrolling your phone number and registered card directly with Visa. Thanks Again is just a partner. Visa already has your personal info, they just want your permission to track your spending for marketing and sales purposes, so they can send directed ads to your phone.
You can always opt out of the text messages by replying back via text "STOP"
If you have enrolled in a previous Visa Offers program, as long as it is not through Thanks Again, YOU ARE STILL ELIGIBLE FOR THIS PROMOTION!

Terms for the Thanks Again Offer:

Quote:

*Prepaid cards including Visa Buxx, Visa Gift cards, Visa Healthcare cards, Visa Incentive cards, and Visa TravelMoney, are not eligible for enrollment at this time.
Offers delivered to your mobile device in connection with Thanks Again Offers are valid in the United States. Certain restrictions may apply.
**Upon clicking "Earn 1000 Bonus Miles >>" or "Get Mobile Offers" above, we will send your name, email address and member number to Visa to simplify enrollment in Thanks Again Offers.
1000 Bonus Miles Terms And Conditions: To participate in Thanks Again Offers and receive 1000 Bonus Miles you must: (i) be a Thanks Again member registered to earn miles via Thanks Again and (ii) enroll in Thanks Again Offers using an eligible Visa card.

Thanks Again counted as a Grand Slam hit last year, so I would rather designate USAir as my earning airline.

(But maybe that's just me)

It looks like MyPoints is also offering 750 miles for joining.

Thanks OP. I have previously signed up for Thanks Again as part of the GS last year. I do not see how this would stop you from using thanks again this year if there is a GS. This is tied to your United account, the miles should post with enough time to cancel this even and re-register for a US account.

In for 2, an easy 1k. Thanks again.

Anybody having difficulties getting the text? I used my Google Voice number, which sends/receives texts just fine, but I can't get the verification code to come through.

To those who have signed up previously. Does this not open the door to solitication on a grander scale that kind of goes against the "do-not-call" program to keep solicitors off your phones? How often are you getting pop-up ads and promos?

Is the 1000 free miles really worth the mouse trap?
To each their own, but until I hear more feedback on what you are getting pimped for and how often, I'll sit this one out and just let the card companies sell my spending habits and the gov't track my cell phone like normal.

I've used ThanksAgain with DL as my earning partner for years. It's always nice to find random miles pop up in your account that you didn't expect. For example, the parking vendor at my home airport is a partner, so any time I pay there with a registered card, miles show up on top of the miles I earn from the card spend.

I registered for a new account with US as partner during the GS last year. This worked just fine. You can even use the same credit card from the other account, but unlike Rewards Network, you'll have to delete it from the other account first -- it won't automatically de-register it.

I just registered for a new account again with UA as a partner and enrolled my cell# for this offer. Once I get the miles, I'll de-enroll from the texting offer. This is similar to the Priority Club/VISA offer that's been floating around.
