Obviously both stores sell gift cards, so there\u2019s that. As usual with this super-weird debit card, use a referral if you sign-up because the referral bonus of $100 is bigger than the regular, publicly available bonus.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong> United has targeted more people with this round of MilePlay, and this time I actually got an offer. <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/promo.united.com\/offers\/mileplay\">Check yours at this link<\/a>.
