Just noticed this promotion when I logged into my daughter’s United MileagePlus account yesterday. Earn 10x miles on select flights from San Francisco bay area through April 30, 2017.
The promotion apparently was loaded into my daughter’s account on February 17. It seems to be targeted, as I did not receive any similar promotion for my account. Registration is required before taking the first flight. The table below shows the total miles you will earn. If you are interested, you can register here on United’s website using promo code TB7M15. Out of curiosity, I tried registering my account and my husband’s account, and I was successful with both accounts!
Terms of the promotion include:
- Only original recipients of this email invitation can register and participate in this promotion. However, I was able to register several accounts using the promo code.
- Registration is required by April 30, 2017. Only tickets or Economy Plus purchases on eligible flights purchased after registration and within the ticketing and travel dates will qualify.

- Bonus will be posted to the member’s MileagePlus account 6-8 weeks after the end of the promotion on April 30, 2017. Bonus will be calculated using the originally ticketed fare and/or fare classes and Economy Plus purchases, as applicable, and subsequent changes to any fare and/or fare classes as a result of itinerary changes, complimentary or paid upgrade, purchase of travel products, irregular operations or otherwise will not be considered.

This offer seems to be focusing on flights out of the San Francisco United hub. I wonder if there are other similar offers out there, perhaps for flights out of other United hubs? Let us know if you receive a similar offer in your United MileagePlus account.
