"Savvy" folks know that people only buy on (1) price and (2) frequency. Throw some more ERJ-145s at the problem and you will both come back.

I got this offer 3 or so weeks ago. I chose the RPU and it took ~8 days to deposit.
I'd usually have at least 40k PQM by now. I just crossed 10k last week.
I tend to travel heavier in the second half of the year, but currently only booked to 25k PQM. That's way off from years past.

That's me, a 1K at about 1/2 of where I was last year with nothing booked for the next few months. I got the offer and will probably register but this isn't really going to encourage me to increase my UAL flying. Now if it had been PQM.....

Anyone whom received this would like to share the link. Albeit a longshot. A free RPU is better than a sharp stick in the eye.. Thanks and Safe Travels

As a Gold, I got this offer about 3-4 weeks ago and selected the RPU. Signed up and actually then flew an A-class fare (last minute travel which I bought up to A-bucket after purchase for a cheap price) and also have a U-fare booked in two weeks. Still haven't seen the initial RPU (DELETED BONUS - as that comes after the promotion ends).
Do I complain, or do I even bother at this point? Nothing but misery dealing with this airline...

I typically never receive these targeted offers. I only fly ultra-low discount and usually on mileage run-type fares, so I've (rightly) never received an offer from them before.
I don't plan on flying with United in the future. I'm not sure which one I should take, as they're both near-worthless: the RPU (since I won't be flying with them) or two United Club passes (see the other threads).
Year to date, I've flown 6 PQS, 7,995 PQM (flown only to use my RPUs), and a very low PQD total, with no travel booked for the rest of the year.
Last year at this time, I had 6 PQS, 19,369 PQM, with 22K PQM booked (over 8-10 reservations, 4-5 RTs), including a out-of-the-ordinary (for me) in S fare class. And during IRROPS, the S fare was rebooked to full Y. So maybe that's the data point?

I got it and I'm just about 1K again (have enough paid tickets already this year to get to 125K easily, and spend will be >12K. But it says your ticketing must be from May 20 forward---and I've already bought all my tickets. Some are refundable, so I suppose I could cancel and recoup and try to get the bonus stuff. Probably won't though.

I'm too over entitled for such an offer. Us lowly 1Ks have our benefits cut, and then RPUs and GPUs are just handed out to others like candy.
