I appreciate that UA is trying to get some more casual travellers on board with different ways to earn miles, but perhaps it should be targeted to them. However, my favorite statement is the bold line at the top of the e-mail:

"HNLescapee, you have 641,512 award miles. That's enough for a roundtrip flight.
I just got it too and agree, meh.

BTW, you're getting ripped off, I have only 156,000 mile and I have enough for a roundtrip flight
