My offer was 25% whereas Mrs og's was 15%. We are both 1P but I have been 1P continuously for about 5 or more years whereas she has been 1P for just over one year.

So is there no one who thinks that 25% is a good deal?

Nope. UA carries them on their books at $0.014. That's what they are worth on average. UA is offering them to you at twice what they are worth. I would hold off. Below $0.02 they start to make sense.

This is the offer I received as well. However, after checking the prices, it looks like the 20% goes up to 19,000 miles, and it's 30% off on anything 20,000 miles or more.

This is the case for me too. The email says MP card members get up to 30% off, which I am.

Not considering for myself, but my wife seldom flies. There are 8,000 miles in her account that will expire in Sep. Not likely to fly before then. Was previously thinking of paying to transfer to my account or purchasing just enough to extend for another 18 moths. With this offer, now wondering if it would be best to purchase enough for a Star award?

Any opinions?
Open a continental account, link your accounts, and transfer back and forth. Instant refresh.

I think anyone can use the 30% offer, you just need to use the 30% offer link that came in the mail. It's been posted in other threads but I haven't seen it yet here so here it is:

My daughter and I are both GM's. She got the mail and I didn't. She has very little miles in her account, I have a lot mostly from MP Visa.
