Earn 1,000 Bonus United Miles for Joining the Small Business Network
United launched their new Small Business Network, where small businesses can earn bonus United miles when shopping at the program's network partners. Small business members can now earn award miles for day-to-day spending, like paying utilities, buying office supplies or for shipping packages etc.
This program is separate from United's PerksPlus business frequent flyer program, and is intended for small business owners or those who work in small businesses. However to join it's a pretty informal process since they do not ask for a tax ID number, so anyone can join this as long as you consider yourself a sole proprietor. Right now they have a special offer where once you join the network and make a purchase that earns 100 miles with a partner, you'll earn 1,000 bonus United miles.
To take advantage of this offer, you must first enroll in the MileagePlus Small Business Network and then complete qualifying earning activity for 100 miles or more with Small Business Network partners. This offer runs now through August 17, 2013. Some of the partners that you can earn miles at include Staples, The UPS store, Dell, Avis and Vistaprint to name a few.
Earning rates vary and can be anything from 1-6 miles per $1 spent, to 75 per car rental with Avis to individual bonuses worth well over 1,000 miles.
Terms and Conditions:
This account will be separate from personal MileagePlus member accounts

Miles accrued, awards, and benefits issued are subject to change and are subject to the rules of the United MileagePlus program.

Bonus award miles, award miles and any other miles earned through non-flight activity do not count or qualify for Premier® status unless expressly stated otherwise. United and its subsidiaries, affiliates and agents are not responsible for any products and services of other participating companies and partners. Taxes and fees related to award travel are the responsibility of the member. The accumulation of mileage or Premier status or any other status does not entitle members to any vested rights with respect to the program. United and MileagePlus are registered service marks.

Though this might not be your primary means of earning United miles, business frequent flyer programs can still be a good way to rack up a lot of miles on small business purchases and to take advantage of category spending bonuses as well as double dipping on your purchases and travel.
