Gaucho .. just says flights from "NOW" thru December 15, and it had no postmark! Had LA permit mail imprint, so came from USA not Sydney or Asia offices. My hunch is they have targeted all high tiers in Asia/Pacific? Front page is called "3 Easy Steps To Free Travel" if you want to quote a Promo name.

An expensive looking 2 fold ( 6 sided) hard board full color kinda thing, with a printer code of 17719 E 8/00 down bottom, so as I have not been at my PO box for a week, may have been there for a while. FIRST r/t flight no points, but it counts toward 2nd flight when you get the 20K. THIRD r/t gives 30K more. Maximum per person stated to be 50,000 miles for 3 paid flights.

F only gets same bonus as C which is funny. All flights to be COMPLETED by December 15. UA operated flights only it says so rtw on * not possible it seems.

Says "this special reward is in addition to your actual flight miles and class of service bonus". If you flew 3 r/t making 60K miles, plus C class bonus of 25% = 15K plus triple miles bonus = 120K extra plus this 50K = 245,000 miles for 3 round trips by my math!

I'd be claiming those prior flights if I were you using code MPA 120.

(p.s. and I like my steaks RARE! )
