Don't be fooled by United's tempting offer of 30miles/$ through FTD for your Mother's Day flowers. Shopping through the United Portal (to get these miles) brings you to an FTD site with HIGHLY inflated prices. You are PAYING for those miles. The same flowers which cost $34.99 on a the miles earning site (1050 miles! sounds exciting!) go for just $19.99 on the regular FTD site with their standard 20% off pitch at the top of the screen - not to be combined with miles offers. What a SCAM. Boo United. BOO! It never use to be like this! You use to just purchase your flowers for whatever price and get 30 miles per dollar spent. Now, it acutally lists how many set miles you will be getting right next to each flower arragement (if you'd like to pay the inflated price to get them).
The current $20 for $40 FTD Groupon is the same scam. To use the Groupon you must go through the FTD site with HIGHLY INFLATED prices. Go to the regular FTD site with the standard 20% off deal advertised by FTD and pay LESS than you would with the groupon. Last years Groupon deal was also not like this. Shame on both companies!
