500 United miles for joining MyPoints (free)

Through July 27th, new members of MyPoints will receive 500 UA mileage plus miles for signing up.

MyPoints is a rebate/rewards website where they essentially pay you to shop online merchants through their website. For example, clicking through to United.com and purchasing a ticket would earn you 250 MyPoints. Other merchants such as Overstock.com and Travelocity earn points at tiered levels. Points can then be redeemed for gift cards, discounts and other goodies.

If you shop online already, MyPoints is a good way to earn some extra bonus goodies while in effect, not changing your shopping routine all that much. "Something for nothing" as I say.
