United: Miles for unused gift cards

 

If you're sitting on a gift card or two from a store you never shop in, or you've got leftover value on cards you've used, United Airlines may have a deal for you. It just may not be a good one.

The airline has set up a MileagePlus Gift Card Exchange page to list its offers and the cards it will accept. The catch is that in essence, United is selling points at a price of around 3.5c each, while sites such as The Points Guy value them at about half that. But, if the cards would otherwise to to waste, it's a better deal.

United's page says it will buy cards with $15 to $100 value on them. The Points Guy page also suggests readers check other deals such as CardCash for possible better rates.

The best part of every trip is realizing that it has upset your expectations
