UA sells them for 3.5.
I guarantee you the 1099 is for more than 1cpm.
+1. It's really a joke for United. They give away an item that has no real value. Person ends up with a $15K tax bill on it and United gets a $35K write off. United ends up making money on the deal.

If you get more concrete numbers you should do a write up

Now that I think about it, why doesn't United do more giveaways with miles. They only stand to gain?
