Last year I was a little slow in going for Milepoint Premium Membership, and almost missed out on the deal. Not this year! Milepoint Premium Membership is back, and better yet, it’s back with a new low price of $49.95.
Let’s talk about what’s available this round.
- 1,000 United MileagePlus bonus miles
- Hilton Gold membership
- National Car Rental Emerald Club Executive status
- A 20 percent discount on an annual subscription to ExpertFlyer
- And more!
Not only do you get great benefits, 10 percent of the purchase price benefits charities such as Army of Women, the ASPCA, Habitat For Humanity, Kiva, LIVESTRONG, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, United We Care and The Wounded Warrior Project.. You can check out the full list of partners by clicking here.

So, last year I gifted the National Exec Aisle status to my wife with no issues… of course she re qualified (after enjoying it so much!) this year. But, still, I see this as a great value. For starters its for a good cause, and its at a really economical rate. Under $50, is a real sweet spot, at least for me. The UA miles, helps. Last round I bought a great ScottVest jacket, which I still enjoy, and AwardWallet helps too (my premium expired literally 6 days ago!). The rest is great!
My question, and not sure if you can answer: How long is the ExpertFlyer 20% discount good for? I don’t renew for a while.
Either way – Everyone has to remember – #1 this is for a good cause, and #2 you actually get benefits (miles, status, discounts), for supporting that (or those) good cause(s)! Seems like a win-win to me!
I already have Hilton Gold. Is there a way I could gift it to my father?
@Alex,
Updated:
I’m not completely positive if the Hilton status can be transferred, but the FAQs imply that it may be possible.
Interested in Hilton Honors Gold Membership. When will it expire?
February 2015 according to the FAQs, I believe.
For $49 you get some pretty nifty benefits. Hilton chain is my primary chain. Good to have that status for such a low price 🙂
honestly this is a junk deal! it is a good deal only if you don’t have hilton gold status. Would have signed up if expert flyer is free or the discount is valid for three yrs or so.
