50000 Bonus Miles with Chase United Airline

CC Dude — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 22:42:46 +0000

Signing up for Credit Card bonus miles can save you serious money. The latest hot bonus is the 50,000 United Airlines Miles with Chase. You will get 50,000 bonus miles after first purchase. There is no minimum, hence it can be as small as a pack of gum. Also, no fee first year. If you feel there is no need to keep the card after the bonus miles, make sure to call and cancel. Otherwise there will be a $60 fee thereafter

Here’s what to do:

Call 1-800-421-4655.
Select “manage my account”
Provide mileage plus number and zip code. If you are not a member, sign up here.
Say “more options”
Say “apply for a United mileage plus card”.
Tell CSR, “I want to apply the 50K bonus miles promotion”

Terms and Conditions say that this one-time bonus offer is valid only for first-time United Mileage Plus Visa cardmembers with new accounts. However, many claim that they don’t check so ymmv.

I was approved automatically. Also, at the end of the conversation with the CSR, mention 1000 mile upgrade and the $25 United credit. YMMV since it might also stack up.

$25 ING Savings Bonus

ING Direct is an online bank with the quickest $25 bonus I can think of. I have set up some automatic links so you can sign up right away. In order to get the bonus, you must go through my referral link and deposit $250. The $25 bonus will take no longer than a day to show up. There is no monthly or minimum fees. Setup is extremely fast and easy. Not only it’s a quick $25, the account is 1.10% APY and FDIC insured. You can also use this account to send money to other bank accounts such as Chase and Bank of America, and it will count as a Direct Deposit requirement.

Once you got your account open, you can send 50 referrals to your friends and family members to make up to $500 more.

Make sure to deposit $250 for opening deposit

Double Your Frequent Flier Miles with Google Holiday Promotions

Those with a frequent flier account from Delta Skymiles, United Mileage, etc, you can sign up to Google Checkout and double your frequent flier miles. The offer is for purchases until Dec. 31st.

Here’s the fine print:

Earn up to 10,000 frequent flyer miles when you shop with Google Checkout this holiday season.*

Once you register, you’ll start earning 2 frequent flyer miles for each $1 you spend with Google Checkout through December 31, 2007.

You can earn up to 10,000 frequent flyer miles through this promotion.

We’ll credit your mileage account and send you a summary of miles earned by January 31, 2008.

Mileage promotion open to US residents only.

Make sure you register your credit card to Google checkout for this special promo. I recommend the Gold Delta SkyMiles (15K points bonus) for those without a frequent flier account.
