I'm concerned that the cash bonus might have trumped the miles bonus. I got several e-mails concerning the cash - registration, qualification, posting, etc - but nothing at all for the miles. Am I missing terms that might limit me to one or the other? Has anyone that has gotten miles received any sort of confirmation for the miles?

I asked the same question on the first page of this thread and the OP answered in post #9. Although I'm not sure I quite understand the answer. Guess I still have the same question myself.

But, as they say about things that are to good to be true . . . I guess we'll see what happens.

Be careful when going to the landing page link in post #1. I noticed that I had to click the link, open it, close it, then try all over again before the airline miles bonus page came. The first time there was no mention of a any airline miles bonus. Yep, that the 'ol "click the provided link once, and maybe twice or more until the desired bonus page appears" trick.

The fee will not be more than the amount of your stock. If your the stock is worth $1, the fee will be $1. They will not make you transfer in more money just to pay the fee.

Did you sign up through the delta link in the first post because it should have asked you for it when you signed up. You can also add it by going to 'Profile and Settings' in the Overview menu and then clicking on Account Settings and there is a place to update it towards the bottom.

OP said "Open an account and be sure to select SkyMiles Medallion as your membership level." I never saw a place to indicate this during registration.
Can anyone assist?

Thanks for pointing me here. However, I don't see any place to update my skymiles number on the Account Settings page. Wonder what I did wrong during registration? I did get an email regarding the $50 bonus.

Hi,
Big thanks to the original poster and all others for the very useful info.
Some clarification from other UA users would be much welcomed though:
1. Has anyone signed up for the 2,000 mile promotion AND 50 dollars cash back and gotten both? I just opened one account last night, made the five dollar trade, and will wait and see.
2. Let's say you sign up for the 2,000 mile promo AND 50 dollars cash back, when would you be able to open a new account and presumably get another 2,000 miles; do you need to wait until the 50 posts then close and reopen, or can you concurrently have many accounts open under the same social security number (thereby allowing me to open a new account now with the other still open)?
Thanks!

How long after sign-up do you get the e-mail? I already received the cash, and there was definitely a place to list my UA # AFTER I entered the $50 promo code. It really would be misleading for them to allow this and then later refuse to honor it. (I wouldn't complain, obviously).

I'm in the same boat. I did United and the $50 rebate. I received the $50 but not the 2,000 miles. It may take a while for United to publish the miles.
