There's only one possible route that is all in on a Saturday (the morning thru DEN with the immediate turn).

It's $20 more to take an outbound (or return) on another day, so for $20 more, you can go out say Friday night on a redeye, and come back on Saturday:

12/8 redeye SFO-IAD-TPA-MIA-MCO-ORD-SFO is $199 at expedia, so presumably $194 if you wanna get ual.com to offer it up.

He probably meant 5 separate same-day return trips.

I think those fares class on saturdays are all booked now. ITA is showing only 2 Tuesdays in March have $169 fare.

Is this avaliable on back to back days or are these 5 seperate days?

Nope, UA does not have a nonstop. MIA has been totally Tedified, with flights to IAD, ORD, and DEN. Soon they will also have United Express replacing some Ted flights.

There is some availability for July as well, for those who have the triple miles promo. This will probably be one the cheapest options for UA miles for that month!

For SFO-MIA, you need to leave Tues AM and return on Wed, and route through SNA and either ORD or DEN. It works for 7/3 to 7/4.

This was part of the elite choices promo, which UA has for elites who pass certain milestones. This reward allowed you to earn triple miles in July.

It seems that a lot of cheapo July SFO-MIA fares are booked on US so there is no triple bonus.

I understand that the lowest fare is on the 0600 departures, I just don't see a same-day Saturday turnaround at that fare. It appears that the base fare has now jumped from $93 to $133 on UA.
