Not eligible.
I guess my money isn't as good as others.
End of the year money is more discretionary, as already locked in 1K again.
Strange.

UA Bonus Award Miles Offer (Targeted?)
$5,700 (22K miles)
$7,100 (22K + 41.5K miles = 63.5K miles)
Travel must be done on or before 11/15. UA metal only.
Not sure if this is a targeted offer, but it's a steep proposition.

I wonder how they come up with these numbers. They should be able to tell by my spending habits that I never book last-minute tickets (not much of a business flyer).

Status seems to be the overwhelming factor. Last year there were GS reporting thresholds like $36k. But yeah, expecting me to spend $11k in two months when I've never crossed 20k PQD in a year...

Not eligible though did get it last year.
For the better anyway since I just booked the rest of my paid travel for the year (at least what I have planned) on DL as I chase DL status though probably would've put all of that to UA if I'd gotten this kind of offer 10 days ago

Not eligible.
94K PQM and $17K PQD YTD.
Too bad, I have trip to China (minimum ticket price around $6.8K) in November that could have netted some bonus miles.
