United Airlines Discounted Award Travel is back

United Airlines is again offering their discounted award travel promotion. By redeeming 15,000 mileage plus miles, you can travel to any non-stop destination of 700 miles or less. Normally 25,000 miles are required for any domestic travel.

For example:
You can fly San Francisco to Palm Springs, San Diego, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Las Vegas, Orange County, Salt Lake City, Redding or Sacramento by redeeming just 15,000 miles.

The offer of course is not limited to just the Bay Area. For a complete list of valid to/from cities click here.

The fine print: This offer is valid for the Fall only - September 1 - December 14th. Previously the airline permitted travel over the Christmas Holiday. Still, this is a great deal, especially for smaller markets that United Express serves and the typical airline ticket would set you back $300 or $400. Here is the link for the promotion.
