[Expired] United: Add Funds To TravelBank & Get 10% Bonus

The Offer

Direct link to offer

  • United is offering a 10% bonus when you add funds to your TravelBank

The Fine Print

  • Members can choose from six purchase amount options and, once purchased, the value remains valid for five years from the date it is deposited in your TravelBank account.
  • Purchases made before August 5th, 2020, (11:59:59 p.m. CT) are eligible for a bonus deposit equal to 10% of the purchase value.
  • The bonus will be deposited approximately 90 days after the initial purchase deposit date and will expire 120 days from the bonus deposit date.
  • Purchases are not refundable and are limited to one purchase per promotion per MileagePlus account.
  • This offer is also subject to all of the TravelBank terms and conditions.
  • United has the right to terminate this promotion or to change the promotion’s terms and conditions, rules, regulations, policies and procedures, benefits, and/or conditions of participation, in whole or in part, at any time, with or without notice.

Our Verdict

10% isn’t a particularly strong bonus given the current market conditions, I’d be surprised if we didn’t see bigger discounts in the future. It’s made even worse by the fact that the 10% bonus expires after 120 days after being deposited (and is deposited 90 days after you make the purchase). The advantage of this deal is that it should code as a United purchase. Personally this is an easy skip.

The bonus dollars received from this promotion were set to expire at the end of February. I expected the bonus to be deducted from my balance, but it seems as United extended expiration to July 2021. Does anyone else see the same?

Accidentally purchased before I selected an airline… selected like 5 minutes after. Think I’ll have to do another purchase?

The fact that it triggers Amex airline credits is pretty huge even though the 10% bonus deal has expired, as it’s an easy way to use up the credit now.

The United TravelBank still triggers AMEX airline credits! I made a $100 purchase and received the credit a few days later.

Any DPs on whether TravelBank triggers Chase CC 15% offer? Worth it for me even without the gimmicky 10% bonus

A key point is that travelbank funds used to ONLY apply to United metal tickets. I was stuck with a credit for a long time due to this limitation several years ago when I wanted to use it for a A* partner booked through them. I can’t remember if mixed itineraries are allowed but I’m pretty sure that answer was also no.

Decent deal if it can be stacked with current chase offer for 15% back?

Has anybody tried to add fund to see whether it extends the expiration date of the fund currently sitting in your account? I have some money left in travelbank from previous contribution. Would like to have some DP if at all possible.

Had a 15% off offer through my Chase card as well as a trip ticketed in November, so thought I’d give it a swing to see it I could stack the offers. Will report back once the transaction clears Chase.

Just received email 8/9 that the TravelBank purchase qualified for the 15% off, but noticed this deal expired on 8/5. For once being my own data point worked out…still haven’t figured out what I’m gonna do with that $250 Lowe’s GC…
