I am not positive about this, but it seemed to me that the new United promotion provides on a pro rata basis for the same bonus, regardless of the number of time you ate under their "flag last year -- unlike the AAdvantage bonus promotion which is skewed heavily against elites in their program.

I made elite under their program last year by the skin of my teeth, but my wife had no dines, and we essentially were given the same bonus opportunity 5 bonus miles per spend.

By the way, as I read the promotion, it permits me the pssibility of earning 1,500 bonus miles. I read this as spending upwards of $300 to earn this, although the example they give for a much more modest earning achievement.
