Chase, United Airlines, and Visa want to make a difference for this year’s World Food Day. Running through November 30, 2023, United MileagePlus® credit card members can earn a bonus of up to 10X miles per $1 spent on donations to any of six organizations helping to fight global hunger and help feed families worldwide.
Donate to Select Charities and Earn Bonus Miles on World Food Day
In honor of World Food Day (October 16), United Airlines, Chase, and Visa are again joining forces to encourage and reward cardmembers who donate to select non-profit organizations supporting the fight against world hunger. From October 16 through November 30, 2023, United MileagePlus® cardmembers will earn up to 10X miles per $1 spent with eligible organizations. Here’s how this bonus structure works out:
- Earn 5X total miles for each $1 spent on the first $500 in total donations
- Earn 10X miles total for each $1 spent on the next $1,000 in donations
This limited-time offer applies to up to a maximum of $1,500 in total donations per card and applies to the following charitable organizations:
- Capital Area Food Bank is the anchor of the hunger relief infrastructure in the DC, Maryland, and Virginia regions – providing more than 50 million meals to these communities.
