The way I read it is you get 3000 from Randy, and 120 (59.95 * 2) from First USA (if you use your MP Visa and you've signed up for the double miles promo). Don't forget there is a Starwood Amex, so for the Starwood promo you could have received 2560 Starpoints per sub (if you'd used your Starwood Amex)

The UA offer is a good deal, but unlike the Starwood promotion, the cheapskates at MP will only let you earn 20K miles from this promotion. Looking at the order form, 6 subs (for 18K miles) is the most you can buy (so why set the limit at 20K???).

Don't get me wrong, this is much better than buying miles directly from UA (and you get a great magazine to boot!), but it isn't in the same league as the Starwood promo.
