Save 20% on MileagePlus Economy Saver Awards to Mexico City (MEX)

Received this e-mail yesterday (doesn't appear to be targeted), seems reminiscent of Save 25% on MileagePlus Saver Awards for flights to Japan in April:

Save 20% on Economy Saver Awards

Use less miles for travel to Mexico City.

Mexico City, once the thriving center of the Aztec empire, can be yours for the taking. Whether you want to enjoy the city's 160 world class museums, stroll through plazas and parks or dine on magnificent cuisine, United Saver Awards can put Mexico City within your reach with a limited-time 20% discount.

  10. During the promotion period, United Economy roundtrip Saver Awards are redeemable at 28,000 miles for travel between the U.S. (excluding Hawaii and Guam) or Canada and Mexico City, Mexico (MEX). These Saver Awards are regularly redeemable at 35,000 miles. Award pricing is subject to change without notice. Passenger is responsible for all taxes, fees, baggage service charges and surcharges applicable to award travel, including, with respect to government-imposed taxes and fees, passenger facility charges (PFCs) of up to $18.00 per roundtrip; September 11 Security Fee of up to $10.00 per roundtrip (one-way travel may incur fees in excess of $5.00); U.S. segment tax of $4.00 for each domestic segment (takeoff and landing); U.S. excise tax of $17.20 for each international arrival and departure in the U.S.; U.S. inspection fees of up to $17.20 for each arrival in the U.S.; and non-U.S. government ticket taxes, fees and airport charges may add up to $265 per ticket as of January 1, 2014.

  15. After an award ticket is issued, service charges may be imposed for each requested change that necessitates the re-issuance of the ticket.

  18. If the value of a partially used ticket is applied to travel outside of the promotion period, a new one-way ticket must be purchased or a new one-way award at the applicable mileage-redemption rate must be redeemed. The unused return portion of the ticket is not valid for travel and cannot be credited back into the member's account.
