45,000 Free miles on United Mileage Plus

[hound 0]

This works in the USA

 

Here's how I did it.

 

I bought one round trip ticket from Richmond, VA to Bangkok. This gives slightly more that 20,000 miles.

Then signed up for a United credit card an additional 20,000 miles

and opened Fidelity brokerage account with $50,000 ( a good discount stock broker) and got 25,000 miles.

 

Following is the summary of my mileage.

I received over 60,000 miles good for another ticket.

How about this one....as I write in the RCC at Narita waiting on my connection. As a 1K I picked one of my rewards as Triple Miles in July, thats on top of the 1K double bonus. So for this trip I get.......drumroll please!!!!!!!!! 77112 miles.

Good for you Hound

 

I paid for 2 trips on United, signed up for 7 credit cards, received bonus miles for various free offers, and accumulated slightly over 180,000 miles.

 

5 trips for the price of 2. Not bad for someone who doesn't have 50k laying around and doesn't fly except to LOS.

 

I've also banked 85k miles on AA from one flight and various miles offers.
