United has tried several times and mostly failed to copy the buzz it generated; this time they came close, really close. Even I\u2019m writing about it, and let\u2019s face it, <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/2021\/04\/13\/united-quest-credit-card-a-contrarian-view\/\">I\u2019m not the biggest United fan<\/a>. <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.united.com\/ual\/en\/us\/fly\/travel\/your-shot-to-fly-sweepstakes.html\">They\u2019re giving away a year of free flights for two in any class of service<\/a> to five vaccinated grand prize winners. To qualify:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.united.com\/en\/us\/account\">Log in to your MileagePlus Account<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Click Profile &amp; Preferences<\/li>\n<li>Click Personal Information<\/li>\n<li>Upload a copy of your COVID-19 vaccine card under Saved travel documents &amp; numbers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Don\u2019t use your dog\u2019s United account on this one, you won\u2019t be able to explain it away if you win (unlike most instances of your dog\u2019s account). <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FlyerTalkerinA2\/status\/1396923652617162756\">Watch out for the 1099 tax<\/a> form from United if you win too, and contest the valuation they give you. It\u2019s not hard to do.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, I personally \u201cinternet know\u201d someone that one a million miles in the AA 40th sweepstakes, it does happen.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-editorskit-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-155\" sizes=\"(max-width: 910px) 100vw, 910px\" src=\"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/cz-p-07-marines-usmc-officer.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/cz-p-07-marines-usmc-officer.jpg 910w, https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/cz-p-07-marines-usmc-officer-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/cz-p-07-marines-usmc-officer-768x486.jpg 768w\" width=\"420\"\/><figcaption>A cadet in United\u2019s wheelchair assistance training program.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Remember AAdvantage\u2019s 40th anniversary?
