Tickets must be purchased by April 1st for travel between March 11 and May 31. Flights must be non-stop. Mileage Plus members will receive triple miles or 1,500 miles, whichever is greater.

The 1,500 minimum is quite generous, since the LAX-SFO route is a shuttle, and you normally get about 337 miles.
