New Asia Promotion
When it's time to fly, make United your choice to or from Asia. When you purchase and fly a paid, qualifying roundtrip between the US and Asia from September 1 through December 9, 2004, you earn extra bonus miles towards air Award Travel, a cruise with United Cruises, Sony® music downloads and more. We also have a special mile-earning opportunity from Hilton®.
Here's how those air miles will add up:
Earn 8,000 bonus miles in First (F & A).
Earn 5,000 for Business (C & D).
Earn 3,000 for Economy (Y, B, M, & H).
You can earn this bonus a maximum of three times for a total of 24,000 miles. That's almost enough miles for a Free* trip!
Remember these miles are in addition to the usual flight miles!
To take part in this special US/Asia miles promotion you must be a member of Mileage Plus, and you must register. You only have to register once.

I got this too. Fairly unstimulating, IMO. If these were status miles, it might be mildly interesting -- but I'm not paying hundreds of dollars more for an H fare just to get 3,000 non-status bonus miles.

What is the registration code for this offer? I am going to Asia in a couple weeks and while the offer isn't great, I might as well sign up for it for an extra 3000 miles (I'm already on a B fare). I couldn't find this promotion on ual.com. Thanks in advance.

I have a question about this - One of my flight segments (BKK-NRT) is on All Nippon. There were no other choices for my day of travel, apparently. Strangely, on the way there, it is United from NRT-BKK. So I am guessing this means that I definitely do not qualify? I think I am missing out on several promotions because of this. And I purchased a D fare.

I take it your transpac segment is on UA? If so, you might qualify:
You could call MP and try find out for sure
