It sounds like I just call 1-800-321-7396 but what's with the RewardsPlus account signup I see? Do I need to signup for a new RewardsPlus acct with my Marriott Rewards and MileagePlus acct to get the travel package?
I saw this earlier but assumed if it's only for the straight Marriott->United miles instead of including the travel package. Looks like it works for the 270K->132K United transfer as well?! The signup page says the deadline is Nov. 30th. In the past, do these bonus offers just require you to initiate the transfer by the deadline day or complete it? Thanks!
In order to get the 25K bonus you need to REGISTER with the UA promotion which is independent from the Travel Package. Fail to register BEFORE you initiate the Travel Package you would NOT get the additional 25K!
The bonus would not post until 6 to 8 weeks after the promotion deadline. Last year when UA ran the same promotion the bonus posted in January. It should also be written in the UA promotion T&Cs about when the bonus would be posted. I am not interested in this so I have not looked into the fine prints this year but pretty sure you should be able to find such info in the T&Cs.
