(Targeted) UA "Explore The World" Run: DEN-AMA $80 a/i RT (.96 cents/AWARD mile)
Try to register at www.unitedmapyourdreams.com. See the promo discussion thread here.
This is a targeted promo offering bonus RDMs based on the number of roundtrips booked and flown from 4/15/12 to 7/15/12. I'm not eligible (probably because I "won" Months of Miles
).
Individual offers may vary, but the "main" one seems to be:
1 RT: 5K RDM
2 RT: 10K RDM
4 RT: 25K RDM
Four DEN-AMA runs cost $320. You'll get 4K EQM (after 500-mile minimums), 8 segments, and 33K RDM for 1Ks (500-mile minimum per segment plus 100% elite bonus = 8K RDM plus 25K promo bonus = 33K RDM).
Same-day $80 turns available on 6/1.
One-night $80 turns available on 5/27, 5/31. (Use same-day change to switch to same-day turn.)
Many $100 same-day turns are available through July, which would increase the cost to $400 for 33K RDM (still a fantastic deal).

I received the following offer:
2 RT/5K RDM
3 RT/10K RDM
5 RT/25K RDM
Trying to figure out the best way to get these miles ex-LAX-area.

Best I can find out of LAX is LAX-LAS-LAX at $94.
Edit to add: also, if you sign up for the TravelBank/united.com club at $25 for a year, but get back $5 per ticket booked, it can pretty quickly pay for itself.

This would be perfect, if UA gave me a reasonable offer, 7/8/9 doesn't make me want to fly any more in the next two and a half months, 1/2/4 or thereabouts would.
