Yes, I did it no problem. I used a different email just in case.
The 750 offer is still active: MyPoints 750 United Miles

As with previous redemptions, the email said "Congratulations! You just redeemed your Points for a gift card and it's on its way." I've done this enough times to know that this email means the points have been deposited into my United account. Chances are they actually posted around Nov. 25, about 3 weeks after redemption. If that schedule is normal, your points should post sometime next week. IIRC, this is not an unusual length of time for MyPoints.
FYI, upthread in post #572, brownie20 reported a redemption on Nov. 12 with a post on Nov. 24, which is not even 2 weeks. So maybe they batch process, and you just missed the cutoff?

No explanation yet, on my account mops respond and asking for copy of DL
wife account no response yet. I read the req is one account per member and not seeing 1 account per house hold.

I have 60000 points in my account but they are classified as pending -- 1000 is redeemable. Can anyone enlighten me on what this all means? How long before pending becomes official (It was part of their double points promotion for your first order).
Thanks.
Thanks.

Most points, except the 5-point email click-throughs, post as pending for a month--with a date attached. On that date, they change to become available to use. Sometimes it happens at midnight, sometimes noon, sometimes later in the day, so I'm guessing the date is also tied to the time of purchase.

Did it post as pending or spendable right away? I've churned a lot of Netflix, this is one of the few remaining I haven't done yet.
I also did the Stamps.com one to get the bonus 1000 Max points. It has a 4 weeks trial, then it's $15.95. Has anyone done this one yet? How long did it take to post?

The stamps.com took about 3 weeks for me (then the points were pending for 30 days after that). If you call to cancel towards the end of the trial, they will try very hard to keep you as a customer and will probably offer you another month for free. When I called towards the end of the second month, it was the same story, but I cancelled anyways since I had little use for the service.

Holiday Inn Winter Promo
Anyone have any actual experience with the terms of these Holiday Inn MyPoints offers? The one I received has no real T&C, just says "Book Early for the Holidays and save up to 20%. Earn 15 points per dollar. You must book online to receive the points."
It says the point offer expires December 21, and points will be credited within 30 days "of completing the transaction," which logically would mean date of full payment. I used the link and made a booking (no advance payment) for a Holiday Inn stay I was planning in early February.
So does the expiration mean:
A) Book by December 21 and complete the stay anytime in the future?
B) Both book and complete the stay by December 21?
C) Book one of the advance purchase, pay-at-time-of-booking offers by December 21?
Holiday Inn regularly offers 5 points/$ just by using the link on the MyPoints site, but this is a far better deal, although with an expiration date. If you've ever earned MyPoints from a Holiday Inn bonus points offer, I'd like to know what you did to successfully complete the offer. My travel plans may change, so if they require non-refundable advance payment this is not going to work for me. Thanks.

I was told by MyPoints customer service that the name on the MyPoints account has to match that on the United account or the transfer won't work. I know once you do one transfer, the MilagePlus number is pre-populated for any subsequent transfers. It looks like it can be changed when you complete the form, but I wouldn't expect it to work.
