Very easy to get those 7500 miles - Office Depot is a merchant on the milageplus mall - all shipping is free - so buy the cheapest item. 1 activity gives you 2500 miles. Find a milage plus dining restaurant -buy something cheap -even fries :-) and you have completed tow activities as required - for a total of 7500 bonus miles.

Purchase and complete a qualifying United flight

Shop the Mileage Plus Mall for last-minute gifts

Enjoy a holiday meal at a participating Mileage Plus DiningSM restaurant

Stay at one of our partner hotels
Hurry, this offer is valid only through December 31, 2003!
Happy Holidays from Mileage Plus!"

I got this offer too. What do you think is the cheapest thing to buy in Office Depot
on line? I have really done great with united
over the last two years with various bonuses
netting me 120,000 MP miles with never taking a flight!!! Oh well here is another
7500 for grabs.

While it's worth noting the offer here for all to see, it's probably best to direct discussion to one of the ongoing threads.

Please see the discussion in the United forum (which has reached 2 pages) and in the S.P.A.M. forum.

Also note that the offer appears to be targeted, so if you didn't receive the email you may not be eligible for the miles. However I haven't kept up with the latest understanding of this (as I did receive the email ) so you may want to read the threads I linked to above.

Is this targetted? If not, is there an online sign up form?

Do you need to take fly for this bonus? I did received the email for this offer. But I will not able to take a flight.

Thanks.

no you don't need to fly. i went to lunch at a thai restaurant for $11, ordered a $4 pen set and ended up with 7,500 miles, and of course lunch

Thats right. I ordered a vacumm belt from Best Buy for $1.99 (free shipping) and ordered a personal pan pizza at Pizza Hut for
$2.99 thru I-dine. 7500 for $5 is a no brainer. I tried to order from Office Depot but they pulled the plug on free shipping under $50.

Target is also a vendor....Bought a shower radio on clearance for 6.00, used a 10% off coupon code (TCAB2SAVETEN) and also free shipping coupon (FCABSENDFREE) and bought a beer at a local Mexican place.....7500 miles for 8.00 is not bad. Anyone know how long it will take for these miles to credit?

Read the T&Cs!!!

It's the proverbial 6-8 weeks. (Of course, it could take less time, or more time, as we all know.)

"Offer valid only for recipients of this e-mail."

I didn't Office Depot, only Office Max and shipping was $5. Can anyone help with the link to Office Depot at MPMall?

I think that was a mistake, Dudemon meant Office Max. And they no longer have free shipping for small purchases.

And no wonder: I bought a pen for under $1, and they sent it UPS.

Go for Circuit City - they have batteries for $1.99 with free shipping, and you can always use batteries.

I meant to say Office Max - that is where I ordered from.

I was targeted with this e-mail & although I have 0 UA miles after my donation to HeroMiles.org , I diverted a one-night O'Hare Doubletree stay from NW to UA. This beats the pants off of Mile-a-Rama at my low level. I'll probably re-open my UA Idine acct. just 2 get a dine .

Play the travel game 3 vacations into the future!

In the past, I've always wondered if I reregistered in IDINE with a credit card that was already registered with another airline, which one would get the miles? I had to do it for this bonus, and the answer seems to be the new one.

Some of the airline affinity cards are automatically registered. Does anyone know if you can reregister them with another airline?
