This is a new one from United Mileage Plus Program. They are offering members a chance to buy TSA Precheck for 10,000 miles. TSA Precheck costs $85 per person so your miles are being valued at .0085 which is pretty bad.
Besides you can use United miles for one way plane tickets which could save you hundreds of dollars. I used 15,000 miles for a one way ticket Bangkok to Toyko. If I bought that ticket, it would have cost me approximately $150 with taxes and fees.
But it is an option if you don't want to spend your cash and you have United miles sitting around that do not help you with your goal.
TSA Precheck means you breeze through a special security line where you do not have to remove your jacket, shoes, laptop or belt. It is good for 5 years.
Some premium credit cards will include TSA Precheck, but the annual fee for these cards will be $450.
If you travel a lot, TSA Precheck is a must.
