Recent College Graduates Get 10,000 Miles for Free from United AirlinesArlene Fleming
Sweet little deal to pad your frequent flyer account if you are a recent college graduate. United Airlines will celebrate your cap and gown moment to the tune of 10,000 free frequent flyer miles.

So how do you get the deal?

  • Make sure you are signed up as a United College Plus member so that you qualify for the graduation "gift"
  • When you graduate, send your Mileage Plus account number, your e-mail address, along with a copy of your transcript proving that you have graduated as a full time student from a US college or university to the following address:

    Mileage Plus, Inc.
    P.O. Box 40
    Rapid City, SD 57709
    Attn: College Plus Graduation
  • Must be done within 12 months of graduation.
Pretty good chunk of frequent flyer miles as a grad gift.
