Since the fly 2 fly free promo is combinable with other offers, the two flights should qualify as part of this promo too, is that correct? That would be too cool!
I'm not sure I agree with how they are targetting business travelers. All my business travel are international, and are at least 2 weeks in length, so they wouldn't qualify!

They're targeting business travellers who aren't staying over weekends while out of town.
And you're right, there is no restriction from combining this with other offers... So the '1 for 2' promotion between NYC/BOS/EWR and California would qualify as two of your three trips. (Or four of your six if you double them up.)
Not a bad deal. I'm doing SFO-BOS MRs in early March with my daughter to get the free international tickets. Guess I'll have to add on a MR to PHX to catch the opening of Spring Training between the CUBS and GIANTS.
Play Ball!

If they are targeting the business traveler by requiring no Sat night stay, they will be missing it in the STL-ORD market. With a base fare of $108 r/t, they won't be reaping much.
Now, how difficult will it be to book a FC seat with all of the freebies (excuse me, earned bonuses) floating around?

Give 'em credit where it's due -- they're pulling out all the stops to make sure their best customers keep on flying UA.

I got a bit excited about this til I read the fine print about the no Sat overnight stays. I only fly internationally and pretty much always stay over a Saturday. What a crummy qualifier!

Right now ORD-MKE is pricing out ~150ish. Register, put the promo in your pocket and keep an eye out for T-fares. The promo last quite a while.

Does anybody know if there is a limit to the number of tickets you can earn? In other words, can you continue to do this promotion again and again or is it 1 free class ticket period? Thanks. (it's early -I read the T&C and can't seem to find it).

For those that are worried about the Saturday night stay requirement & travelling internationally. If you're flying in paid C or F, it doesn't matter - there is no stay requirements - only those those who are traveling in paid Y have stay requirements:
Min/Max Stay Requirements: First Class roundtrip travel and Business Class roundtrip travel have no stay requirements. Economy Class roundtrip travel may not include a Saturday night stay.
