My UA miles expired last month ( and forgot to book award travel and cancel...).

I found someone that had an unused car rental and traded with him for another item. It is supposed to reinstate my expired miles.

I can confirm that.

Do you actually have to ticket the award travel?  How do you cancel without paying a redeposit fee?

How do you cancel without paying a redeposit fee?

Many airlines let you redeposit an award within 24 hours for free (I know CO, DL and UA do for example).  That will likely count as activity.  You can always check if it extended the expiration.

How can you check? Ask them too many questions and they will catch you.

Why, pray tell, would you ask??

It usually has the expiration date in the My account details.

My UA miles are set to expire in March. Other than CC's, how can I add some miles or post some activity to the account so they don't expire?

Thanks!

This question has been asked many times. You can usually shop at their Mileage Plus store and buy something for a dollar which will credit to the account.

Thanks!

Or just get a subscription for a few hundred miles.

itunes purchase through Shopping Mall - starts at 99 cents

I wouldn't rely on that.  More often than not they don't post at all.
Buying a magazine/newspaper subscription on the other hand for a few hundred miles is much safer.  Companies seem to forget to charge you far less often than they forget to give you something

Of course you can always just make a redemption and redeposit for free within 24 hours...

Any method (besides payment) of reinstating United miles that expired on 12/1? Or if I try calling anything in particular I can say?

Nifty idea. Do you or anyone know if I can credit a car rental booking that was under a different name?
