United Mileage Plus Members Earn Miles by Giving to Relief Effort
September 1, 2005 – United Airlines announced initiatives to assist with the Hurricane Katrina relief effort in the New Orleans and Gulf Coast regions. United will contribute $50 or more to any of United’s non-profit hurricane relief partners with a one-time mileage bonus of 500 redeemable miles to Mileage Plus members.

Mileage Plus will commit up to 1 million miles to support this offer for contributions made before Oct. 31, 2005. To receive the mileage award, participating members should fax a copy of their donation receipt and Mileage Plus number to United toll-free at 866-583-5943.

United is working with several major nonprofit organizations in the hurricane relief effort to help fulfill supply and shipping needs. Partners include the American Red Cross, AmeriCares and Operation USA.

The airline is also encouraging Mileage Plus members to donate miles to these organizations as part of its Charity Miles program. Many relief organizations send personnel and volunteers to assist in the affected region in the event of a disaster, and the donation of miles helps defray their expenses.
