United Airlines today launched an innovative three-day promotion offering MileagePlus members a bonus of up to 60 percent on award miles purchased between Sept. 3 and Sept. 5.
MileagePlus members can go to www.united.com/peoplepower to purchase miles, share the promotion through social media channels and view the progress of the bonus. Each participating member will receive a minimum 30 percent bonus on award miles purchased through the promotion.
