Our Take
This is exactly the kind of promotion we love. It takes minimal effort, probably less than a couple of minutes and you get 1,000 miles for your troubles. We love promotions that take less time to complete than it does to read this article!

How Often do they run a promotion like this? I just got a united card. ??
Too bad I missed this
I saw this one too late.
Sorry I did not see this earlier. Hope they will run this promotion again.
Oh … I saw this too late.
hmm…easy 1000 miles but missed the deadline. I guess there will be another time/opportunity.
This offer must have been to help soften the blow of gutting the mileage awards!
And, with the increased miles required for flights after November 15, that I’m reading about, 1000 miles is now only worth…
Darn, just missed the deadline. And wonder if my united business card would have worked…
And now the updated app no longer works on my three year old phone. I contacted UAL and they said the update doesn’t work on older phones. So sad!
Best part: 18 months of reset on the UAMP experation.
Thanks for the heads up, an easy 1,000 miles!
shoot, just got my card in the mail, but missed the deadline.
Ugh, just missed this.
appreciate easy tips likes these
I wish I still had the card.
got to love free miles
easy way to earn 1000 points
thanks for the great info- i like it too
Ive been thinking about the United card. Missed this easy bonus miles. Maybe the next one.
I woner if United will come out with a no annual fee card, like American and Delta did? Any hints out there?
KareK, there IS a no-fee United card (from Chase) 🙂 I downgraded my UA card to the no-fee version so I could keep the ability to see extra flights when booking, and for the MPX app (which, unfortunately, doesn’t seem to work at all for me :-/ )
As stated above, the old app worked. For me, I’m not compatible with the new app, so I can’t even download it.
Business card did seem to work.
It worked for me. Thank you for the reminder about the deadline.
Points posted right away. Thanks
Thanks for 1000 points heads up!
What’s the time frame on pts posting?
Last I knew, you could still convert your United Mileageplus Credit Card to a free version, if it’s not worth paying the fee, but you still want a easy way to have occasional miles activity.
Got excited until I realized I did this a long time ago lol
Thank you for the timely tip. Easy 1000 miles.
Thank you for the tip! Easy 1000 points!
Super-easy, and the miles posted instantly; thanks!
What a great opportunity to get some extra miles without purchase. Nice one!!
My card was already linked. I think this promo happened before and I did it then. But, I am going to try unlinking it and linking it again… to see what happens.
If only I had a United card to link
Great reminder to do this. My spouse and I both have it – easiest 1K miles to earn!
Thank you!! Quick and easy!
I did this just last week. Hoping I’m still eligible to earn them
Thanks for your tip. No-brainer deal.
That was easy. Thanks for the information!
i’m guessing this is only for new united mileageplus x users. If you already have it, has anyone tried removing and re adding the card ?
An easy 1000 miles!
Perfect timing. I’ve been looking forward to an opportunity like this
I have the no fee basic MileagePlus card which also worked.
Do you get the points if you had previously linked your card to the app?
I would like to know the answer too.
This^
I love it. Thanks for letting me know about this.
That was painless. Thanks.
I just tried it with my United Explorer Business card and it seemed to work!
If I have a card linked already, can I unlink it and then link it to get the promo?
Would love to be able to do this … if I could ever get the MPX app to actually work :-/ I’m still baffled as to why they felt the need to redesign an app that worked perfectly, and replace it with one that barely works, if at all. I can’t even get past the sign-in page now — keeps telling me my password is wrong (it’s not).
i cant even log on in app without it shutting down!
Yes, as I installed it, I saw it’s 2.8 stars. Although, it does look like it was updated recently to an all new 2.0 version. So, hopefully, those reviews are headed north.
Easy 1000 points. Thanks! I had not heard about this.
This is why I read the blog!
My Presidential Plus card is a Mastercard for some reason and it won’t accept it.
