Are you a shopaholic? If not, you just might want to become one. At least for a little while. Because you can get 1,000 United miles for shopping through June 5, 2016. Yep, for shopping. How easy it that? No flying involved. And you can shop from your couch at home. Here’s how to get 1,000 United miles for shopping.

1,000 United Miles for Shopping

You can get 1,000 United miles when you spend $250 at participating MileagePlus Shopping stores by June 5, 2016.

Remember these are 1,000 bonus miles. You’ll also get miles from shopping.

How to Get 3,850 United Miles

When you shop through MileagePlus Shopping, you earn additional miles for your purchases.

Currently, Saks Fifth Avenue is offering 10 United miles for every $1 spent.

So if you spend $250 at Saks, you’ll earn 3,500 United miles ($250 x 10 + 1,000)!

And if you use your United MileagePlus Club card, you’ll earn an extra 375 miles for a total of 3,850 United miles.

But you don’t have to shop at Saks or just one store. You can shop at several MileagePlus Shopping stores and still score the bonus. As long as you spend a cumulative total of $250.
