20 Years of flying United!

I got a pleasant surprise on my last flight. I got a card from the Gate Agent. Apparently I have been flying United as a MileagePlus member for 20 years. Now I was ‘pleasantly’ surprised because I had no idea. Once I boarded the flight and looked at the card, I went – that’s it? A card? A GPU would have been nice (and useful, as I am all out for the year already).

Hopefully I will get something more significant at the 25 year mark. Can anyone who has hit the 25 year share if they got anything worth it?

  1. It seems that you’ve gotten more than I have. And what’s in the picture at the top of that card? It looks like some sort of fungus. Perhaps I’m lucky I haven’t gotten one of those?! I’ve been a member since the late 1980s.

  2. this is the kind of gift i’d rather not be getting. a 20-yr customer gets a piece of paper. cheap.

  3. Wow: I just booked three tickets from PHX to HNL & it only cost me $1000 to use my FREE miles !!!!! Needless to say, United credit card is gone & I won’t be using United for any transportation in the future. United is run by a bunch of jerks & I think they are thieves. For some reason I don’t think I will be getting a “card”.

  4. Le Roy, sorry to hear that. I am curious what the fee was that added up to $1000? I redeem miles on united on a regular basis and have never paid that much. I just redeemed miles for a roux trip to Asia and the taxes+fees added up to just $104. That too was all taxes and government fees, nothing Unites could have controlled/changed. In contrast, I was trying to redeem British Airways miles for the same trip and the fuel surcharge alone was over $300.
