So at best, you're buying the United miles at 1.8 cents per mile vs donating directly to your charity of choice. I'll choose to donate directly.

If you have an emiles account, you can contribute there, earn 300 miles, and it goes to Nepal via MercyCorps.

Getting miles for charitable donations ranks with lime green leisure suits.

Tacky

Donate directly for the 6000 + who died.

I feel terrible for the 6000, but whether I got e-miles from my MercyCorps donation won't really affect them. (Yes, I did.) And it's just dumb to suggest that those who got a reward are somehow less than you.
