I don't approve comments- they post instantly, so if you never saw it post, it's likely it got flagged as SPAM. Posting it again would likely have the same effect.
I've written many times about the targeted United 55k+ offer- it was even a part of my last round of applications. However, it is targeted and the link to that Flyertalk is useless for someone who isn't targeted for the offer.
The Chase branch tip (which clearly isn't my referral link) was just a tip for people who were not targeted for the 55k, but still wanted it since anyone can go into a Chase branch and get that offer.
