Now through <strong>April 30, 2026<\/strong>, MileagePlus members can purchase United miles with <strong>up to a 50% discount<\/strong> &#8212; although it seems most members will only see an 45% discount. If you're targeted for the 50% discount, this drops the effective cost to as low as <strong>1.88\u00a2 per mile<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>But there's a catch. Unlike in past United MileagePlus sales, you're limited to purchasing a maximum of 50,000 miles during this promotion.<\/p>\n<p>In this post, we\u2019ll show you who should consider buying United miles during this promo \u2014 and when it\u2019s better to pass.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_254650\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"750\/270\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-254650 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/United-buy-miles-50-discount-banner-750x270.png\" alt=\"Banner image for buying United miles\" width=\"750\" height=\"270\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/United-buy-miles-50-discount-banner-750x270.png 750w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/United-buy-miles-50-discount-banner-900x324.png 900w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/United-buy-miles-50-discount-banner-768x276.png 768w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/United-buy-miles-50-discount-banner.png 1342w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><center><em>Credit: United MileagePlus<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n<div id=\"toc_container\" class=\"toc_light_blue no_bullets\"><p class=\"toc_title\">Page Contents<\/p><ul class=\"toc_list\"><li><a href=\"#Buy_United_Miles_Promotion_Key_Terms\">Buy United Miles Promotion Key Terms<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#How_many_United_miles_do_you_need_to_buy_to_get_a_discount\">How many United miles do you need to buy to get a discount?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#Who_Should_Buy_United_Miles\">Who Should Buy United Miles?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#How_to_Maximize_This_Buy_United_Miles_Promotion\">How to Maximize This Buy United Miles Promotion<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#United_Buy_Miles_History\">United Buy Miles History<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Maximize_Your_United_Points_Purchase\">Maximize Your United Points Purchase<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Other_Ways_to_Earn_United_Miles\">Other Ways to Earn United Miles<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Bottom_Line\">Bottom Line<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n<h2><span id=\"Buy_United_Miles_Promotion_Key_Terms\">Buy United Miles Promotion Key Terms<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/blog\/link\/BuyUnitedMiles\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">This promotion<\/a> is valid through <strong>11:59 p.m. CT on<\/strong> <strong>April 30, 2026<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Per the terms and conditions, you can purchase up to 200,000 United miles annually.<\/li>\n<li>MileagePlus members may <strong>buy a<\/strong> <strong>maximum of 50,000 miles within any consecutive 90-day period<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Miles can take up to 72 hours to post to your MileagePlus account after your purchase.<\/li>\n<li>Purchased miles do not count toward United Premier status.<\/li>\n<li>Purchases of United miles are nonrefundable.<\/li>\n<li>Check out the full terms and conditions <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/points-mobile-bgt.s3.amazonaws.com\/unitedairlines\/TermsandCondition\/buy_gift_terms_en.html\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The new catch here is the 50k-mile purchase limit.

However, it was only that cheap since excise taxes were waived due to the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, United has kept its offers around 1.88-2.03\u00a2 apiece. That means this promotion can offer the best rate we've seen recently &#8212; but only if you're targeted for the 50% discount.
