Conclusion
This bonus adds 2-2.85X in addition to the normal payout you will receive from the portal. I always use a comparison site like Cashback Monitor to make sure I am getting the best return. I’m glad to see this bonus return and I plan to take advantage at the $350 level! Happy shopping.

wow a thousand miles??? what can i do with all those miles. Its raining miles!!
Glad you agree. 🙂
Just a friendly reminder to be careful about using the abbreviation 1K with United. When I read the “United 1K” in the headline I thought you were talking about a shortcut to getting to United’s Premier 1K mileage program.
I know it says no gift cards BUT what giftcards might I be able to buy for $350+ & get the extra bonus?
It varies from store to store. Check the FM Laboratory to see which stores are paying out for gift cards through the mileage portals!
