Using Miles for Apple Products
I received a booklet today from Chase Bank's United Visa Card. One of the offers was titled 'Use Miles For Your Favorite Apple Products.' ..... Visit awards.MileagePlus.com/Apple
Problem is that website doesn't exist!
I tried accessing it from Firefox and IE. Neither one displayed that site.

Redemption value is not great compared to airline tix, but points have different value to different people.

try awards.MileagePlus.com w/o the /Apple, that seems to work
If only if it was that good -- seems closer to 213K miles for $1,600 12-inch MacBook 512GB - Silver
Typical sub 1 cpm for UA merchandising / MP Shopping
At least with Choice Points you get 1 cpm.
If you can find it and not everyone wants to do an international trip -- lots of folks get loaded up with miles but neither have the patience or desire for those types of awards.
UA wants them to do Standard Awards and then the cpm is not quite so good
