There aren't a lot of retailers in the program now, but if you use some of them, why not get these miles too?

regarding transferring the miles.. from the Use Miles section:
Overall, it just looks like another shopping portal to me. But UPS isn't listed on rewardsdb or evreward, so I think it may be a first time for them.
Now, the United PerksPlus program which is listed as a partner looks like an actual business program. Even gives you 5k "perksplus points" for joining via that link.. which according to T&C you aren't even allowed to redeem (if there was something that low on the redemption chart - there isn't) until you've spent 5k on airfare over 3 consecutive months.
Buy, transfer, or give miles
Top off miles in your account or give them to someone else. Fee waived transfers coming soon.

It looks like fee-waived mileage transfers are coming soon so you could just move those into your Mileage Plus account for free.

I did not. Neither did the wife. I did the transactions at Staples. Have not bothered harassing them over it since I'm not clear how I'd get the miles out of there anyway. So they'd probably just be stranded.
Not sure why this got hyped to the extent it did. Doubt I'm alone. Only out a few bucks though.
