Yes, 10,000 bonus United MileagePlus miles for 10 dines before August 15. After registering for the promotion, I learned that for a dine to count, I must spend $40+.
Since I earn 3 miles per $1 spent normally with Dining Rewards, I will earn at least an additional 1,200 miles though this promotion.
3 x $40 = 120 miles - 120 miles x 10 Dines = 1,200 additional miles
Will I participate?
I don't know. 11,000 miles is alot of miles to earn from a promotion, but require me spend at least $400. If I had a few client lunches or dinners, I could swing buying gift certificates to get to the 10 dines. But as a single guy, spending $40 on meals is not easy.
Decisions, Decisions, Decisions to make.
Other Offers
I received another offer from Hilton HHoners Dinning Rewards. Unlike the United offer, this one was stingy.
2,500 bonus Hilton HHonors points after 10 dines of $40+ more.
If I am going to do 10 dines, its going to be for 10,000 United Miles not 2,500 HHonor Points.
The decision between the two offers is a no brainier! Spending $400 for 10,000+ miles is not so easy.
Would you DO IT FOR THE POINTS?
