Can you register for more than one of these promos at the same time? I'm just curious. I don't want to screw anything up, but the system seems to be letting my bf register for 2 of the new offers.

Is he going to end up with nothing in the end or a lot of nice bonuses? What do you guys think? We both have brand new UA accounts so we know very little about them. They're just matching the fly-I fares so we're now going to be using them more.

The system will let you register, but all the offers being discussed right now are targeted, so unless you got the e-mail for the offer you are registering for you are going to get nothing.

Are you being sarcastic or do you really believe this to be true?

I've registered for evrything under the sun lately and flown the qualified flights. But because I was not targeted I've never received the bonuses, the tickets, etc. If it is targeted they know it. Their website might be slow but it is definitely accurate.
