The UA site says "Double redeemable flight miles." And the terms and conditions pop-up says, "Double miles
in this offer are defined as two times the actual flight miles flown on
United, United Express, Ted along with Lufthansa transatlantic flights posted to your account from April 1 to April 30, 2005."
This may be sloppy wording on the part of United, but both quotes could and perhaps should be interpreted as the bonus consisting of flight miles, which are EQMs.
