I have a $25 off cert (off of published econ fare of $200 or more), that I received when I signed up for Bank One Mileage Visa card. This has my name on it, and
"This travel cert entitles the customer named hereon to a $25 discount towards the purchase of any United ....."
Can I give it to anyone else to use this cert. I wont it using it before expiration date"
The other one that I have is "One-Way Upgrade Within North America good for 1000 miles.....
Full Y or C class fare must be purchased. Premier members may use with any published fare".
Can anyone else use this one.

Of course, it's a little hard to "hang-up" at a ticket counter and try again...

On the 1000 mile upgrades: They are supposedly non-transferable, so if you give it to someone it may or may not work. Some gate agents take them, some don't.

Both the $25 cert and the 1000-mile upgrade cert are non-transferable. I had no luck at all getting a ticket agent to take the $25 cert for anyone other than myself. Nor did I have any luck using someone else's $25 cert.
I had mixed results with the upgrade. Most agents said no way (which is fine cuz that's what the cert says). One agent accepted it for an SFO-ORD Saturday morning e-fare flight that was empty in C anyway on a 777. He said it was an exception that he was making because it's Saturday and he was in a good mood.
I was still prepared to support that upgrade with my own 500 milers, though.
