Wow, I had no idea, and this is yet another United IT gem...Did you see what happens when you actually click to purchase the miles? You get this:


The MileagePlus Recognition Miles program has been discontinued. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Soooo, despite a landing page telling us otherwise, looks like this option is out for the OP. Keep up the good work, United!
