Conclusion
If you have a United credit card, then check out this sale and see if any of these deals align with your travel plans. One-way fares start from 9,000 and 11,000 miles for Mexico and go up to 30,000 miles for travel to and from Brazil.
Regarding the Colombia fares, just so folks know, when you book roundtrip tickets to Colombia, you avoid the TIMBRE “resident” tax that you get on oneway ex-Colombia flights, so the roundtrip taxes are ~$30 less. I see its $87 in UA.com. You have it as $119. Its not just the sum of both one ways. Not sure how many other countries have a similar arrangement.
If you do pay that one-way fare out of Colombia they’re supposed to refund the Resident Tax, but lately I’ve had to ask. So eventually that ex-Colombia tax will be $30’ish less. You need to spend less than 90 days in country to be eligible.
