It is early October and United has already rolled out their holiday offer for buying MileagePlus miles. This offer is valid for purchase made until December 31, 2013, and is offering 25% discount on the purchase price.
The maximum umber of miles that you can buy in a calendar year is maxed at 100,000. The price of a mile under this offer is 2.8 cents per miles that is too expensive.
You can usually buy United miles for a lot less using the Award/Premier Accelerator (read more here) or during better sales.
You can access this offer on United’s website here.
Conclusion
I like United miles a lot due to the flexibility of using them on Star Alliance airlines. I would not however, buy them at this price.
