United College Plus® is the student's version of Mileage Plus®, United's frequent flyer program. Any full-time student from a college or university in the U.S. can join. As a member, you can earn miles toward free travel with United and more than 100 Mileage Plus partners worldwide. Look out for special bonus offers exclusive to College Plus members, too.

Graduation Bonus

We will help you celebrate your college graduation with 10,000 Mileage Plus bonus miles (see United College Plus rules for details). Just send the following to the address below, and your bonus will be posted to your account within 4-6 weeks of receipt:

A copy of your final transcript showing that you did indeed graduate as a full-time student from a U.S. college or university.*

Your United College Plus/Mileage Plus account number.**

Your e-mail address.
Mileage Plus, Inc.
P.O. Box 40
Rapid City, SD 57709
Attn: College Plus Graduation

Rules:
* Copy of official transcript must be received within 12 months of graduation.
** Must be a member of College Plus prior to graduation to be eligible for bonus miles.

Catch?

6. Your membership account will be activated by flying one qualifying United Airlines flight on which mileage is accrued, or by any other method authorized under the program. If you do not activate your account within twelve months after enrollment, or if you fail at any time to earn any mileage for 18 consecutive months, your account and accrued mileage, if any, may be terminated. Once activated, your account may become inactive if you fail to earn any mileage during a period of twelve consecutive months. When your account is inactive, you will not receive notification of program changes or other mailings about Mileage Plus or United College Plus.

I think "must be a member before graduating" is a bigger catch than "fly once a year or we're cancelling your account," particularly given that today was MU's graduation day.
