Two weeks after returning from a month abroad I was wondering what to do with my boarding passes. I flew United Airlines and was quite happy with the experience. I decided to see if I could sign up for the frequent flyer program online and claim mileage points for my flights.
You can do this up to 12 months after your flights and you can create the account for free on the web in a couple of minutes. After doing this you can enter the details (date, flight number, etc) from each flight on your trip. I ended up entering the details from the itinerary my travel agent printed out for me and ticking them off as I went.
At the end of that I had 22,439 miles credited to my account. That's enough for a free flight anywhere within Australia. Not a bad reward for 15 minutes investigation!

I thought it there was a cost to join frequent flyers? A few years back I was going to but it was $80 a year. And I wasn't doing any flying.
United charge nothing for their frequent flyer program. Some airlines charge a joining fee but my Qantas membership certainly doesn't charge an annual fee.
Where's the website to join? Is it just the airline's website?
Yes. Go to the airlines website and look for a link to their frequent flyer program.
