United 5K miles for $1k spend deal is Dead?

Earlier last week, I had blogged about a special United promotion where United Credit Cardholders could earn 5,000 bonus miles for spending a combined total of $1,000 on their co-branded United credit card by the end of October 31st. This offer was supposedly a targeted offer, and therefore like many United deals–it was already a risky hit or miss.

Well, just a few days later it looks like United has modified the terms of the promotion and has excluded cardholders in the United States from this promotion. Therefore killing this deal for the vast majority of us. If you already registered successfully for the promotion, there is a slim chance you might possibly be able to get your points still, but I wouldn’t risk going out of my way for it.

If you do meet the $1k spend limit anyway and decide to call United to get your points–please share your experience for the rest of us. I’m personally considering this deal dead.

More details on all of this can be found on Mommy Points’ blog.

p.s. Sorry readers, no MTDD this week! Check back next week for your travel deal destination. 🙂
