MS graduation & 10,000 bonus miles have landed
Just 22 days after I faxed my cover letter request and final transcript, the eagle landed today with 10,000 miles. Yea BABY! ^
When this thread first started just over a year ago, I immediately joined College Plus at the tender age or 43. I've been taking 1-2 classes a semester for these past three years, so this was a nice extra.
Since I am now considering a PhD, I will rejoin College Plus. My UA notification email contained the following quote on re-enrolling:
"If you are continuing with school and wish to re-enroll in the College Plus program, go to www.united.com/collegeplus and click on "Join United College Plus" to re-register your account as a College Plus member. Please note that you must re-enroll in the program to be eligible for any additional graduation bonuses."

Hopefully it's not a sign that the program is ending or gone as I just submitted some forms (using the cached info from Google), but the united.com/collegeplus link is no longer valid and neither are ones that I looked up in a search on united.com.

The full link I had sent to my friend was http://www.united.com/page/article/0,6867,3106,00.html but that returns a Page Not Found error. Hopefully it's just a .bomb reorganization and will reappear soon (optimistically thinking: the timing for moving the program information would fit pretty well with most submissions from May graduations already being taken care of - but at the same time, discontinuation of the program would also fit that timing
) I suppose time will tell......

I forgot about this deal. My brother graduated law school 2 months ago, so I'm hoping the deal is still valid and the URL goes back up soon.

The College Plus pages are back on united.com... looks like it was a temporary glitch.

Does anyone know if this program still exists or not? I did a search on United website but couldn't find anything.
