After states like Ohio and Oregon offered up $1 million to get people to get the COVID-19 vaccine, United Airlines is joining the sweepstakes tactic. It is offering members of its loyalty program a chance to win one year of free flights if they get vaccinated.
United said any new or existing MileagePlus members who uploads their valid COVID-19 vaccination card to the airline via its mobile app or website will be entered into the “Your Shot to Fly” sweepstakes. Entries will be taken until June 22.
Five members will be selected on July 1 to receive a year of travel for themselves and a companion in any class of service anywhere United flies, with a maximum of 26 trips. That comes out to one every two weeks. United also said that, throughout June, it will give away 30 pairs of round-trip tickets to anywhere it flies, also in any class of service.
“Thanks to the vaccine, more and more destinations are opening up for travel – and we know our customers are eager to fly. We’re excited to give people one more reason to get vaccinated so they can reunite with friends and family or take that long-awaited vacation which all could be just one shot away,” United CEO Scott Kirby said in a statement.
Is this like the state lottery, where .000001% take home a prize and 99.99999% are losers?
There’s a reason they’re so desperate to force vaccination and it’s not public health as they’ve already proven
This type of “state” lotteries for covid are actually better odds than Power or Mega ball since it only involves folks in those states.
Yet same outcome – majority losers!
So United wants to reward their loyalty members an opp? Rich get richer!
Don’t see Spirit offering a years worth of flights and why should they – Spirit produces the best entertaining fight videos out there. On their planes or standing at the ticket counter – something ALL are rewarded with. HAAHAHAHAHAHAH
You would think people would be questioning why it is so important to make sure everyone get vaccine given to them. BEWARE there is more in that needle than vaccine no doubt. If the Democrats are saying it is so safe I DO NOT BELIEVE IT!!!!!
No thank you and by the way, you can kiss my ass!
I like the local idea, have a beer get a vaccine
