Usually a 5* BUT recent flight was BAD. For a 6.5hr flight, got only one tiny bag of pretzels and 1 soda. Stewardesses were rude and slovenly dressed.

It costs $7.50 to transfer 500 United miles (1.5 cents per mile), plus a $30.00 processing fee per transaction. So even if you're just topping off someone's MileagePlus account, a transfer will cost you $37.50. You can transfer up to 100,000 miles per transaction and up to 100,000 miles per year to another MileagePlus account.
You must be a United MileagePlus member to earn, transfer and redeem United frequent flyer miles. You can enroll here for free. But if you have a United credit card, you're automatically enrolled.
