Pre Pay United
 

I was told that United has a program where you can purchase pre paid tickets (blocks of 25,000 miles?), to use on any United flights. Can anybody help me out on this? Do you get mileage credit? Are they good for any class of service? I'm not talking about purchasing miles, but actual trips. Thanks.
