An otherwise puff announcement of a new version of the United MileagePlus X shopping app tosses in a free 1,000 United miles if you have a United credit card:

United Visa Rewards: This new program is powered by Visa Commerce Network, which allows enrolled individuals to receive valuable offers within MileagePlus X thanks to the power of the Visa payments network. United Visa Rewards is available exclusively to United Chase Visa Cardmembers in the U.S. who are now able to enroll their eligible card into the program via the app. From there, they can view active enhanced mileage earning offers from participating merchants. Once program participants make a qualifying purchase with a participating merchant, they will receive a near real-time reward notification within the app. As a special launch offer, from now until March 31, 2019, United Chase Visa Cardmembers can earn 1,000 bonus award miles by simply enrolling their eligible credit card for the first time into the program.

You can learn about MileagePlus X and the offer here.

If you have an United credit card, open up MileagePlus X by March 31, 2019 to enroll. No purchase necessary.

The offers that popped up for me are not at merchants I frequencet. Warehouse clubs Sam’s and BJ’s will be interesting to some.
