United is targeting co-branded cardholders with a new promotion for its aptly-named “Months of Miles.” Targeted cardholders can earn up to 20,000 bonus miles over three months, requiring $6,000 in spending.

Not everyone is targeted, however, but those who are could gain quite a few miles with this promotion — especially if you're in need of some gift cards. Just don't get this promotion confused with United's Miles by the Month, which is a subscription service.

What is Months of Miles, and how do you enroll? Let's take a look.

United Months of Miles Promotion

Targeted United cardholders can register to earn up to 20,000 bonus miles. Members will receive 4,000 miles every month they spend $2,000 between February and April 2024, and another 8,000 bonus miles for reaching the target all three months. In other words:

  • Earn 4,000 bonus miles after spending $2,000 in February.
  • Earn another 4,000 bonus miles after spending $2,000 in March.
  • Finally, earn 4,000 bonus miles after spending $2,000 in April.
  • Hit all three spending targets to earn another 8,000 bonus miles for a total of 20,000 bonus miles.

You will need to check your emails or the United Months of Miles promotion page to see if you've been targeted so you can register. This promotion also stacks with other Chase spending offers.

While this promotion is specifically for United Months of Miles, there could be other targeted cards with similar promotions available.

Terms and conditions

  • In previous Month of Miles promotions, qualified spending was retroactive within the month you registered. For example, all spending from September 1 to 30 was eligible as long as you registered by September 30. It's unclear if that's still the case for this new promotion. If so, you could enroll as late as April 30, 2024 and still hit the spending target for April after you register.
  • Purchases must post to your card by the end of the promotion period. Payments could be delayed by the merchant, such as for shipping, so don't wait until the last minute to spend.
  • Bonus miles will post to your MileagePlus account within six to eight weeks after the promotion ends.
  • Qualifying purchases do not include balance transfers, cash advances, traveler’s checks, foreign currency, money orders, wire transfers, similar cash-like transactions, lottery tickets, casino gaming chips, race track wagers or similar betting transactions, any checks that access your account, interest, unauthorized or fraudulent charges, or fees of any kind, including an annual fee, if applicable.

Note that the terms don't say gift cards are ineligible. That's good news for those who might want to hit the spending threshold now for purchases they'll make later this year. A gift card to your local supermarket could definitely make sense, as long as you're able to front the money now and still pay off your credit card bill responsibly.

Our Take

This is a particularly good promotion if you were targeted, considering you could earn 3.33 miles per dollar if you hit all the spending requirements. All you need to do is see if you've been targeted and then register before the end of the registration period.
