Thanks in advance because I am on the fence on this promo....
You will not see any 100K offer again any time soon. If you are holding out for those, you would be waiting in vain.

This is the highest offer UA miles have ever been. Whether it is worth to you nobody can answer that except you yourself.

In many folks book, UA miles certainly worth a lot more than C1's "miles" which is just 1 penny per "mile" worth, versus the TRUE airline miles often achieve 2 pennies or higher redemption value.

On a side note, most folks on this forum probably applied 1/2 a doz cards in any given year... you are truly an exception, if you only do one card a year...
