Good luck to you!

I am currently doing this promotion as well.
Credits post to the account in sweeps that occur on every Monday and Thursday (credits show up the following morning) for the duration of the promotion. The redemption link on the UA website indicates that awards redeemed for Mileage Plus miles will post immediately after the redemption process is complete, which, is very nice.
While I did not have as rigorous a plan as thetravelguru (I am impressed), I will have completed 32 credits by this Sunday.
The only issue with you (and I) having return flights immediately following the origin departure is that you cannot EasyCheck-in Online for the return, thus forfeiting 500 miles. Though, in the scheme of this very generous promotion, it is trivial.

I am jealous that you will be done so soon ^

Wow, this is a great deal. I had seen the DEN promotion, but I never really bothered to read the terms. If I hadn't blown a ton of money these past three weeks on trips, I'd book my 8 round trips right now. Luckily, it looks like I have until early July to get my double credits, so I'm sure I'll be doing my eight MDW-DEN Ted runs in the near future. $1400 for an F ticket to Europe isn't a bad deal
