UA Offer MPW039 - Fall Saver Award Sale (Book by 7/24)

Sorry if this has been cover before, but I thought it was 25,000 miles to redeem a domestic saver award. I have been booking looking to book MKE-SBP for awhile the past few days it has been 25,000 now its 20,000 so I pulled the trigger.

I did some searching and found they had the 20,000 mile promotion back in March but only for select cities. Anyone know whats up?

Interesting development. Checking RDU-SFO, it was 25K miles earlier today but is now 20K.

Maybe this is a promotion that has not been advertised yet.
