Harvest Bonus Miles Posts

In October, I wrote that you should check your email for a possible bonus offer from United dining rewards. Known as harvest Bonus, the email could have been easily overlooked as another junk communication from the dining rewards network.


In reality, the offer was simple. Participate in one dine through the network and earn bonus miles. "In my instance, I could earn 2,000 miles after one dine. This was a must participate offer.

How simple was this offer. This $6 smoothie


Earned me 2,018 United miles:





Not to shabby for something I was going to do anyway.

The lesson here? Always look at promotional emails. The ones that look junk maybe the diamond in the rough.

Check Your Email for Great Dining Rewards Offer

Recently, I received an email from Dining Rewards. This isn't abnormal, as Dining Rewards sends out emails constantly with catchy subject lines. This one;s subject line was Harvest Those Bonus Miles.


Typically, I ignore these emails, because they are just trying me to use the program. However, I am super happy that I opened this one, as it was a bonus:


 "Earn 2,000 MileagePlus bonus award miles when you dine from October 15 to October 29. This 
  fall, you'll gather 2,000 bonus miles just for dining out with the Happy Harvest Bonus. Search 
  for all the delicious places you can visit and review to earn those bonus miles. No registration       required. See details below."

Well the details below didn't provide much detail:


 "To earn through this bonus, you must dine at participating restaurant, bar, or club between
  October 15 and October 29. Please not that all dines must occur during a valid reward 
  period and be paid for with a credit or debit card registered with MileagePlus Dining. You
  may earn this bonus only once. Offer is not combinable with other MileagePlus Dining
  bonuses. Please allow 6-8 weeks from the date of your qualifying dine for any bonus miles to
  post to your MileagePlus Dining account. All account inquires related to this bonus must be
  received by December 29."

As you can see, the details did not provide much information on what one must due to earn the miles. I called the customer service number and learned that the I need only to dine once between October 15th and October 29th and complete the survey. 2,000 miles for only one dine. Easy breeze.

The offer is only for those who received the email, so check to see if you are eligible.

Remember DON"T LEAVE POINTS ON THE TABLE.
