Did you know you can earn up to 50,000 United miles purchasing a new Mercedes-Benz? If a new one is too expensive, how about purchasing a used one for a smaller 25,000 bonus miles?
Yep, that’s right, if you follow the steps with True Car, you can be on your way to a new (or used) Mercedes-Benz and a big stash of United Airlines miles. Here’s how it works.
First, head on over to True Car’s website. Then you’ll need to log-in to your United account, activate the promotion by selecting a car to get a control number. Once you have that, simply print it out and redeem at the dealership. It’s that easy.

Bottom Line
This targeted offer allows members to earn up to 50,000 United miles for a new Mercedes-Benz and 25,000 United miles for a used Mercedes-Benz.
Have you used this yet? I received one email from a reader that purchased his qualifying used Mercedes-Benz only a few days before receiving this offer. I wonder how many others have purchased a Mercedes-Benz and missed out on this offer?
Whoa… And double it down with using the Amex Mercedes Benz Platinum to buy the car…
This is a great post! And I too have the misfortune of buying a CPO MB a few days before receiving the targeted email. I contacted United, TruCar and the dealership with not much luck.
HOWEVER.. TrueCar customer service alluded it was at the dealers discretion to file the form for the points bonus. T’s & C’s state otherwise, but I am hounding my dealership. I will let you know how it goes.
Thanks Miles!
Yep, just bought a G550, a week before finding out about the offer. Working with the dealership to get the miles. I’ll let you know how it works out.
