Tax-time double miles from United, Chase

Okay, so it’s tax time, and what we’re about to tell you won’t lower your bill, maybe not even your blood pressure, but it could ease the pain a bit. United Airlines and Chase Card Services, a division of JP Morgan Chase & Company, are doubling your miles for every eligible dollar spent when you use the United Mileage Plus Visa® card to pay personal — or quarterly estimated — federal income tax.

The theory is that you’re going to have to pay Uncle Sam anyway, why not get something in return?

Make tax payments online by going to www.chasepayyourtaxes.com/united or call 1-877829-2954 for federal taxes.
