Earn United Miles When Making Dinner Reservations

Planning on going to dinner and using OpenTable to make your reservation?

United Mileage Dining Promotion

I often write about dining promotions, as dining for miles is a great way to pick up some extra miles. Right now, United Airlines is running an unlimited dining miles promotion. Simply register for the All You Can Eat Bonus, and earn 1,000 United miles each time you spend $100 at participating restaurants. There is no limit to the amount of bonus miles you can earn, and the offer is good until June 30th.

Since you earn 3x the miles for each $1 spent, that means spending $100 at participating restaurants will net you 1,300 miles. I know I am going to take advantage of this promotion, and I hope you do too.

Be sure to register HERE before dining. Enjoy!

Mother's Day is just around the corner again (May 8th), and it is that time of year to get your mother something special. So now the big dilemma, what to get the person who gave you life!?

Buy Virgin America Miles, Get a 25% Bonus

Hurry and act fast! If you purchase Virgin America miles by May 3rd, you can earn a 25% bonus. So, if you buy 500 Virgin miles, you will get a bonus of 125 miles, totaling 625. Each 500 base miles costs $26. Considering a one way flight from SF to LA costs approximately 2,744 miles, or $59, this may not be the best deal. But, if you are close to getting that free flight with Virgin America, then I could see this deal making sense.

50,000 Bonus British Airways Miles With Credit Card

Want a free round trip ticket to Europe? Simply sign up for the British Airways Chase Visa Card! They are having a credit card sign up where you can get 50,000 miles. A round trip economy class flight from the U.S to Europe on British Airways is 50,000 miles, which is what you get when signing up for this card!

As an added bonus, GAIN 100,000 MILES if you spend $2,500 on your credit card within the first 3 months. That is the equivalent of 2 free round trip tickets to Europe, or you could splurge and have 1 free business class ticket. I plan on signing up for the credit card, receiving the bonus miles, and canceling the credit card after. This is a GREAT WAY to boost your British Airways or OneWorld mileage accounts.

Download United's Toolbar, Earn 1 Mile Per 3 Searches

I saw this promotion on United Airlines, and at first thought the idea was ridiculous. If you download United's Mileage Plus Shopping toolbar, you can earn 1 mile for every 3 Yahoo! searches, with a maximum of 100 miles per month. But it got me thinking...if I use their toolbar for a whole year, that will net me 1,200 free miles. While that isn't a staggering number, 1,200 miles is still pretty good just for surfing the web. So I decided to download the toolbar, and will now be earning miles as I search the web. Pretty cool, wouldn't you say?? CLICK HERE to download the toolbar.

Support Japan Relief - Earn/Use Miles

With the earthquake and tsunami hitting Japan, a lot of people are looking to help out by making donations. If you are low on cash, most carriers are accepting miles as a donation. You can donate any amount of miles, keeping in mind about 1,000 miles = $67. Giving money is probably a better bet, but if you're cash strapped and want to help out, miles are a good way to contribute. Check out your airline's mileage website, and find the link that allows you to donate miles.

United Airlines is also teaming up with the Red Cross. If you donate $50-$99, United will credit your account with 250 miles. If you donate $100+, United will give you 500 miles. Earning miles for supporting Japan relief...what a great idea! I was planning on donating anyway, and this way I will pick up some extra miles. If you plan on donating, CLICK HERE to sign up for either promotion.
