United miles without flying?
I'm hoping someone has been in this situation before, and can offer
advice: I'm around 650 miles from qualifying for United Airlines Premier status this year (I've been a Premier member forever). A round-trip ticket to anywhere (I live in SFO) would put me over the top... but I don't want to go anywhere! I'd even be willing to buy a ticket that I don't use (maybe to donate to charity or something?) -- but it doesn't seem that there's any way to get those qualifying miles without actually getting onto an airplane and going somewhere. Any ideas? Thanks... |

United miles without flying?
If you've flown since October 15th you can pay $100 and have any miles flown
on United (not code share) doubled for status for next year. Details on the Mileage Plus section of their website under the EQM offer. Other then that, you have to fly. wrote in message .. .

Does United have the Dining For Miles plan? You register,
eat in certain restaurants, and earn miles. No flying involved. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Katherine Becker "As god is my witness I thought turkeys could fly" NEVER SEND A FERRET TO DO A WEASEL's JOB --WKRP ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |

I seem to get miles for shopping at Safeway. Sign up for a Safeway card and lend it to all your friends. Not sure those miles are eligible for Premier status but it's worth a try. miguel -- See the world from your web browser: http://travel.u.nu/ |

You have to fly for them to count for status, Idine miles won't count for
status. wrote in message ighton.edu... Does United have the Dining For Miles plan? You register, eat in certain restaurants, and earn miles.

You have to fly for status miles, the grocery miles won't count for status.
