Our Verdict
PerksPlus is United’s rewards program for businesses. 10,000 points can be transferred to regular United miles at a 2:1 ratio, so basically a free 5,000 miles, there is also a PerksPlus award chart found here. Keep in mind the eligibility requirements for PerksPlus are quite high:
- Once your company’s eligible revenue totals $5,000 USD for three consecutive months during the first 12 months of your membership, you can begin to redeem points online.
- Once your company’s eligible revenue totals $25,000 USD on United, United Express, Lufthansa Group and ANA (where applicable) within the 12-month period immediately after enrollment, we will automatically renew your membership. Upon renewal, outstanding points earned during the prior term will remain valid for an additional 24 months.
ETA stands for executive travel agent and looks like an app based assistant. I’ll add this to the list of ways to get free loyalty points.

For me, the more restrictive fine print is found further down:
'Once your company’s eligible revenue totals $5,000 USD for three consecutive months during the first 12 months of your membership, you can begin to redeem points online."
This implies that any points (including the 10,000 bonus points) are useless until you meet the $5k/3 month United spend requirement. Do others read this the same way?
Ah, good catch.
Anyone had luck with this? Seems pretty hit or miss to me.
Pretty high spending limit to maintain membership in United PerksPlus.

Anyone with a valid work email can sign up for this?
You need a United PerksPlus account, like I said I'm not sure what qualifies you for one in your first year.
As an Android user, so far I've only signed up to sign up.
And so it goes.
