Travel Deal of the Day (Nov. 28, 2006)
Are you (or someone you know) a college (undergrad or graduate level) student? Do you want to get 10,000 easy, free United Mileage Plus miles? If so, read on….
The Deal:
The United College Plus Program provides a number of benefits to university (undergrad or graduate level) students, including a 10,000 mile bonus for graduation.
How:
1) Join United Mileage Plus, if you are not already a member, at: https://www.ua2go.com/ci/JoinMileagePlus.jsp?jumpLink=%2Fjoinmp
2) Sign your Mileage Plus number up for the United College Plus Program at:

3) To receive 10,000 easy Mileage Plus miles after graduation, send your transcript to the address listed at: http://www.united.com/page/article/0,6722,3106,00.html
The Inside Scoop:
1) No actual travel is required to earn the 10,000 miles. You must, however, sign up for College Plus while still a university student and then send in a transcript within 12 months of graduation.
2) If you want to earn additional miles while attending a university (and at the same time establish a credit history), you can sign up for the free United College Plus Visa card which offers one mile for every two dollars spent. Note that this mileage earning rate is lower than some of United’s Mileage Plus credit cards with annual fees, but since this card is fee-free, it may work out well for some students. See the information about the card at: http://www.united.com/page/article/0,6722,3101,00.html
3) Bottom line: the 10K mileage bonus for graduation is probably the easiest free mileage promotion available to students.
