Put soon-to-expire, unused United Airlines miles toward a good cause: Donate them to Rotary’s Humanitarian Miles program.
You can give your United Airlines miles in 1,000-mile minimum per person contributions by filling out the donation form (PDF).
A club used donated airline miles to bring an Iraqi woman to the United States after she lost the use of her legs in an explosion during her honeymoon. The same blast killed her husband. She was unable to receive physical therapy in Iraq for her injuries, but donated miles helped take her to the treatment she needed.
Another club collected Rotary Miles contributions, enough for two tickets to Hawaii, and used the miles as a prize for the club's International Night, raising enough to fund the club's financial commitment on a Rotary Foundation Matching Grant to purchase surgical equipment for a rural surgical center in Guatemala.
