I won!
 

Not a bad deal for chatting to some United executives for awhile. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif Too bad I had 0 miles to start with so I guess that I now I need 5000 more...

Congratulations! You are a winner of the Mileage Plus bonus miles drawing from last week's FlyerTalk Live! Chat. Your 20,000 miles have been added to your Mileage Plus account.

Thank you for participating in the chat session. We appreciate your loyalty to United Airlines!

You can get 2,500 miles added if you plunk down a minimum of 500 bucks with Ameritrade.

After the first six months, they will charge you $15 per quarter service charge if the total equity in your account is less than $2,000.

Still a pretty good deal, tho.

Yep. I received an email from a ual.com email address.

I;m so jealous!

The MileKing bags 20K from UA! Thanks FlyerTalk and UA!

Congrats. Randy delivers!

JimBob .. congrats .. make your first on line booking and get what - 3000 points is it now? And pick a dirt cheap $59 flight that gives you a 500 mile minimum or so miles each way and you are basically there. Go to Mileage Addicts site and sign up for Silver Wings Survey or some such thing for 1000 or whatever points and bingo, a free flight to Alaska or wherever!

I too am jealous! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif
And to think, the odds were SO good!

So mileking and jimbob win 20k. I wonder if the other 3 winners were FT'ers...

I think you can apply the UA credit card and I think you will get 5000 miles once you are approved.

Congratualtions to the winners. I'm jealous!! No wait, I'm glad http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif (but really I'm jealous).

May I offer my congratualtions to you and also to all the other winners! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Use the miles wisely! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Congrats jimbob, but those points would have looked SOOO much better in tvl4free's account!

Tvl4free knows how to use points for the lessor things in life... like tvl4free, eat4free, pk4free, sleep4free and shop4free. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

We'll make a mor eformal announcement now that United has contacted the winners. Here's the winning names from the drawing. You're all right - what wonderful odds. If you all behave I might be able to keep asking favors of the programs to offer up some prizes. To date we've given away more than a quarter million miles to FlyerTalk Live! chats. Here's the most recent winners:

1. John L. Giasi
2. William J Beck
3. Lynn Perkins
4. Steve Ralis
5. Mike Hoeffner

Sorry, strange as it may seem - I actually don't recognize anyone's real name. Could you all help me and others out with their real frequent flyer/FlyerTalk name?
