RewardsPlus Hotel + Air Packages

Under this additional 20% promotion, you would receive the maximum 25,000 bonus miles.

Base miles: 120,000
Rewards Plus Bonus: 12,000
20% Promotion: 25,000
Total: 157,000
But the promo seems to say that it means transfer points to UA, not a hotel + airfare package. " member must earn a combined minimum of 5,000 award miles as a result of one or more points to miles conversion transactions from any combination of MileagePlus hotel partner programs that are completed during the Promotional Period "

Most you can do is 50,000 miles which costs 112,000 points. You would get an additional 12,500. Of course you could do it twice and spend 224,000 points to get 100,000 + 25,000 miles on UA.
