Earning Miles for Switching Insurance Carriers

Last month, I received an email offering MilagePlus miles for getting switching one's insurance to Allstate.



At the moment, one can earn 500 miles for switching one's auto and home insurance.












The small print mentions that one needs to provide your local Allstate agent or the 1-800 agents your MilagePlus number from the beginning of your inquiry. In addition, the small print mentions that this offer will expire on August 12, 2013 and is valid in participating states only. However, it doesn't mention which states are participating.

A quick look at the United offer page, shows the offer valid in the following states and territories: Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Idaho, Illinois, Kentucky, Maine, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Utah, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming, and Washington, DC.

The offer page mentions one can earn from 500 to 6,500 bonus award miles for switching your insurance to Allstate. Call a local Allstate Agent or 1-855-514-9043 for your free quote and to find out how many miles you can earn. Therefore, one has a chance to earn more miles for switching to Allstate. This AllState webpage states that one could earn 4,500 miles for switching both your auto (2500 miles) and home insurance (2000 miles). I would recommend taking a screen shot of the page, if you decided to use this offer.


One should always check to see what the price of insurance with the miles and without the miles. I am not definite that the cost of a policy earning miles is more than one that does not. However, one could image a scenario where the policies could be different prices. Allstate has to pay for those miles otherwise.

At the moment, US Airways is the only other airline that allows one to earn miles for getting insurance. The big difference is that one can earn miles for simply requesting a quote.

Everyone needs insurance if they own a car or home, why not try to earn miles by doing it.
