Great for earning more miles

easy money saving and miles miles miles net trip please

Super easy and a great way to earn a few extra miles.

Well done !!!

Can't believe how awesome this is. I Have been Maximizing my Points. Recently got 4 points per dollar on BackCountry.com I mean this is a killer extension Definitely worth having.

LOVE THIS APP/EXT!! I shop on tons of things all the time and when I found out that united mileage had a storefront that was cool. But, when I found out it had an extension? That automatically KNEW when I was on a site and would pop up and tell me that I could get more points? Hallelujah!! This app is the coolest thing. Adding miles for everyday shopping on many sites I use anyway totally rocks. (To date I have added almost 15k miles since I added it. LOVE YOU United MileagePlus!

Love it, Great way to earn more miles.

Simple to use and helpful. Pretty much all you can ask for!

Wish I had found this sooner!

This extension is a must if you shop online and also are trying to earn more points for travel. It is so easy, and so many places I shop are included!

A very good benefit, but entirely too many pop ups in the course of each tranaction. Once or twice is enough already!

this is my favorite shopping portal by far, i love how quick the miles hit your account and the gift card feature on the app has been great as well. I have 0 issues with how this shopping portal works. Other portals i've tried are cash back but they payout very slow or have limited redemption options for gift cards. United lets u get airline miles which can obviously be used for flights but also hotels

I love it when it works and hate it when it just hangs there. I'm writing this review while I wait on "Just a moment while we activate this offer" for the past 20 minutes.

I love this extension as it always reminds me that i will be earning United Miles for my ordinary shopping habits. great way to earn miles without even trying.

Makes getting miles so easy ! I just added the extension a few days ago and the pop up came up a few times already making getting those extra miles even easier. Thanks ! Happy travels to all !!!

I love that it pops up automatically when shopping. The extension lets me know how many miles are being offered for each dollar I spend. One more step to help me earn miles towards my trips for making purchases through the MilesPlus shopping app. Thanks for making it so easy and convenient.

I wish I had known about this sooner! This has now become my go to button for saving money and earning miles

Very happy with the Mileage Plus rewards extension, it makes it so much- easier with limited time. I don't have to click on one page then another to do- essentially the same thing.

How can you go wrong? I love having this pop up as I shop online and being able to take advantage of the extra mileage I would have missed otherwise in most cases. The easiest and most reliable way for me to earn points with a simple click.

I have 1 complaint; it really really makes the site you're shopping slow! Otherwise, the extension and experience is simple and gets free miles!

I've been using this extension since day one. Love it. Love it. Love it.

It was a bit difficult, but after several unsuccessful tries have finally been able to get credit for an instore purchase. Wish this process was explained a bit more clearly. Hope I will now be able to replicate it.

I wish I'd know about earning miles this way a long time ago. Great plan, great restaurants and easy to use with wonderful customer service.

By far the best extension. It let me earn miles without hassle to go to United web site every time.

Majority of the time it works great. I still need to contact customer service for missing points from time to time. I usually get my point within a day or so after purchase. If I do not get them in the time I feel I should get them I have to wait 15 days before I contact them for the missing points. I wish it would track the purchases more efficiently. I would of left a 5 star if I never had to contact them on the missing points.

Great way to earn miles

Flying into more points with my UA Shopping extension While I try to keep the extensions I have on my Chrome browser limited, the United shopper extension is a must to not only take advantage of some fantastic deals, but ensure I am also earning miles for many, if not most, of the purchases I am making.

Super easy way to earn miles on stuff I'm buying anyway!

This extension is fantastic. It really makes earning miles while shopping simple.

It is very helpful in identifying opportunities to add miles and find discounts.

Really like adding to miles while making purchases from stores that I frequent.

It's only a little bit more work to do your shopping through the mileageplus app/browser/button, but its completely worth it. It is easy to use, and at least for me, I can get all my shopping done through the button while collecting lots of miles that I otherwise wouldn't have gotten. Also, it has been fun finding new stores & restaurants that I would have never found. It's awesome. Just make sure you allow cookies to be saved or else you may not get any miles

Great service

Makes it really easy to earn miles

This extension makes it so easy to remember to shop and get miles at the same time. I haven't been able to travel much with the Covid 19 pandemic - as I'm sure many are. Hopefully mileage plus shopping will keep all of our previously earned mileage current.

Very easy use, no hassle with having to go to the site. Let you earn miles without hassle takes you straight to the United web site every time

cool!

It's great!

The button is convenient. It reminds me if I'm at a participating site by a popup allowing me to activate the MP points accrual for purchases made at the site. It does though get tiresome when I know I'm not going to buy but only shop. Also NOT ALL merchant websites are picked up by the button. You have to sometimes go back to the MP Shopping site and click in through the site. All in all though, I find the button helpful.

Makes life easier not to miss stores

Total garbage on a Mac, the idiot extension will at least acknowledge you visited the online store and does record it, however it NEVER forwards properly to united so of course you get cheated out of miles left and right. Dealing with the Milage plus service center on this topic is right up there in the same league as ROOT CANAL without PAIN KILLER!!! Get it together United, when the Pandemic is over people will again take a long hard look at the companies they are loyal to. What a shocker more than 10 years post merger and you still can't get it together on the IT front. Perhaps stop offshoring this kind of work to INDIA!!!

I love the ability to earn miles/benefits while making purchases I would need to make regardless and the United App. Prior to COVID, I travelled over 200,000 miles per year globally and on United...great service, food, flight options, comfort and perks. Since the limited travel due to COVID, I enjoy the ability to earn miles while doing on line shopping (95% of all my purchases these days) and in a very simple manner. Highly encourage each of you to take advantage of this benefit!

awesome

15 miles per dollar spent on 1800Flowers - how great is that?!

I shop more often than I fly and this is just a neat little extension that adds points to my account.I just love it!!

Love this extension! It's so convenient.

WOW, love it! i wish i knew about it alot sooner. It adds the miles quickly and without incident. Customer Service is easily available to answer anything.

If you are TEAM TRAVEL this is the way to shop! As good or better than Rakutan for Travel points and you can earn shopping/dinning and even buying gift cards! So EASY to use, love it.

I'm tired of this popping up to ask me to write a review.

The extension is great. Please stop reminding me to write a review!

I'm so glad I installed this extension on my computer. I have caught so many great deals and bonus miles without having to do anything but browse on my laptop! The notifications for miles show up in the corner of my screen and are easy to dismiss if I don't want to use them. I never think to check what stores are currently offering miles deals and, with this extension, I never have to! Definitely recommend.

The extension makes it easy to accumulate miles.

One of the easiest ways to earn miles. I use a couple other extensions to earn points/miles and often I do not get credit for my transactions. MileagePlus never fails to recognize my transactions and that makes me very happy. While not every place I shop is listed, I still use the extension whenever possible.

I love that the extension reminds you that you could obtain miles if you are on a website approved by MileagePlus. It's that simple.

I can get airlines miles for the things I buy anyway. I love it.

Received an e-mail to download extension and make a purchase > $25 USD. I did that, but the bonus miles are not in my account. Customer services says that I incorrectly fulfilled the requirements and they will not remedy the situation. What a scam.

Good

awesome site. cant wait ti use the rewards

Good extention. Lets you earn miles without hassle to go to United web site everytime.

I love this extension, I am always looking for ways to earn more Miles. My favorite saying. "The more Miles the Merrier" I love to travel and with the trip I have coming up. I need all the miles I can get. So anything I need. I make sure it has a mileage incentive; and this extension makes it easier. If you travel and you don't have it. Your wasting your money. and if they could think of a way to let me have your wasted miles...I wish they would work that into the extension. friends should never let friends miss out on Miles.

easy to use

Just shop online as usual, and the MileagePlus shopping button tells you when you can activate miles or extra miles. Very simple.

so helpful to grab those extra miles for something you'd purchase anyway.

Works great most of the time. There are times it gets hung up trying activate miles for a purchase though.

What a phenomenal way to find stores that give you United Miles. I also love the coupons that United offers on selective websites. This is a keeper and everyone should use this app.

Great

Love getting the extra miles through my regular on-line shopping

Great way to earn miles.

Cool extension. Needs to be available to more vendors and also possibility of it auto-activating with a bit more speed. Thank you for all the savings.

Earn miles so easy now! Just shop and and miles appear just activate and you closer than ever to flying Gratis.

It's easy just set-up on my Chrome and it automatically triggers the miles, coupons without me having to search. Only downside it's attached to Chrome and I prefer FireFox.

I love the fact that I get immediate emails notifying me that my miles were being processed and after dealing with another airline reward program constantly having to call to make sure my points were added I really appreciate that.

Super easy to use. Reminds you to activate your MileagePlus sites to get points!

Such a great way to earn miles and people definitely don't know about it! It's awesome!!

The easiest way to earn miles I've ever used. I love this button, and use it every time I shop to add more miles to my account. No adds, just more miles!

I love this Chrome extension. In the past, I would have to go to the United page and see if my vendor was participating in the program. Now the button automatically tells me that I am on a participating vendor. It saves me several minutes and makes sure I always get miles when shopping on line.

Absolutely great !!! Love it - use it whenever possible !!!

I had the button installed and used a credit card registered with MP but failed to get credit for an apple purchase , I even submitted a customer service inquiry to no avail. Inquiry # 00933715

Love my mileage plus points. I have been able to earn enough points for airfare to Europe. I love the extension button that reminds me of the shopping stores when I search for purchases. Wish I could earn points at Amazon.

This is the way to shop! You not only get miles from using the United Miles credit card, but you can easily accumulate miles without travelling-since you shop anyway. I should have done this sooner as I am purchasing on furnishings and appliances for a guest house we are building. Timing is important as well. With the last holiday season, my mileages has skyrocketed. I have yet to try Unieted Miles DINING. I'm excited I shared this with my kids..

Love the button. It helps me make sure I can collect my miles to afford to travel to places which could have been hard to afford.

I love it; When I visit the merchant website it shows how many miles can be earned on that day. Saves a lot of time navigating hoops. Thank you !

El botón es muy útil porque anteriormente yo tenía que entrar a la página de Mileage Plus para revisar cada tienda en la cual quería comprar. Hoy en día, este botón me avisa cuando puedo ganar millas por comprar en las tiendas que visito.

What I like the most: there are many stores that participate and a lot of the stores I shop at online are included; the miles show up pretty quickly (which I thought would take much longer, definitely exceeded my expectations). It literally goes through all the potential coupons and calculates which is the best offer, so you get deals you did not know about AND you get mileage for what you do spend. I can't think of a reason not to use this. Literally.

ADDING ADDITIONAL VALUE TO THE SHOPPING

We never shop without making sure that a store on the United Portal is offering miles, and the button pop up is a great reminder. Absolutely a must have, has worked flawlessly for over a year. We are earning more miles from these reminders than otherwise possible.

This is so perfect because I always forget coupons, discount codes, etc. It makes it so easy for me to get my miles when shopping online. Super worth it - my Mom and I had enough miles to go to Ireland this September!!

Love this Extension in chrome. pops up every time I go to a participating store and will display associated coupons to use at the online store. Highly recommend this to anyone using MileagePlus.

So easy to use when shopping online! I would highly recommend using it!

I like very much been advised that I can earn miles each time I visit a site. Just searching for something you may need and purchase online you can add miles to your account, effortless and fast. Great extension and highly recommended.

I would forget to go to the Mileage website to make purchases from there to get miles. With the extension I don't have to remember it asks me, so helpful!

I love it. I used to miss United Mileage Plus Shopping miles because I always forgot to check to see whether I could earn miles on the Mileage Plus Website; now I get notified every time a website has the ability to give me miles for purchases. I love it! Almost $10,000 miles and counting.

great extension, earn miles just by shopping as you would do so easy to use.

Quick and easy way to earn miles for stuff you were going to buy anyway. Love it.

No complaints; seems to work correctly and is quite convenient.

easiest way to earn travel rewards. Absolutely easy to use and reliable. even if the button misses the points during the purchase, customer service is right there to help you with the missing points

This extension does not work as advertised. It refuses to activate on several websites that I frequent like NewEgg and Dell. I have no other 3rd party extensions except for LastPass. I have no adblockers or cookie blockers. Even after clearing all history, it refuses to activate on newegg.com. I have gotten to the point where, on the rare occasion it does activate, I screenshot proof because I end up needing to contest lost miles. Such a shame as this had promise to be such a wonderful extension.

What's NOT to love?! It is so much easier to shop with the MileagePlusShopping button with ONE click as opposed to shopping without it. I used to have to check twice before submitting my order and now I can shop with confidence knowing the miles will be activated without having to first log on to my MileagePlusShopping account and then shopping.

Works great most of the time, but every once in a while I'll click the "Activate Miles" button and it'll look like it's processing, but instead of the "activated" message I'll get the original activate miles button again.

It's definitely a handy addition to make sure you get Mileage Plus miles when shopping online. There is a slight problem with it though. It doesn't always pickup the merchant. For example: target.com participates on and off. The last few times I shopped at target.com the button didn't pick up so I had to exit target.com and go to mpshopping's site then click into target.com from MPShopping. Even with the few misses, it's still handy and I'd recommend it. You still have to have familiarity with participants because it's not 100 pct accurate.

Works like a charm! Love the mileage increase from shopping on line with stores I've been using for years or trying merchants new to me.

Love the quick access and its soooo easy! Thank you!

A great way to get miles when shopping. Much easier than going into and out off the website. Super convenient.

It works radomly. Bought a large amount at Haybneedle and did not get a credit. Called and I was told off. Made a loan with Lending Club and they did not get the message... Um!

Having this addition to my browser makes it very convenient.

Love the bonus points offered. Like ordering online & getting free shipping or pick up in store.

I absolutely love this way of earning miles.
