1K with a $42K spend last year. My activity on UA came to an abrupt halt in April after getting status match to EXP. Tried to register for the promo (mainly to see if I was eligible) and got the "not eligible" message. UA clearly has no clue which elites they have alienated.
Meanwhile...over at AA. I got a personal phone call to make sure I'm enjoying my EXP status. Phones almost always answered on first ring. FAs practically gush over EXPs. UA could offer me quadruple miles and I'd still not come back.

They're trying to lure back those who have already left while giving those of us who are on the fence a good shove (if only I had completely abandoned UA I would now be able to get the bonus).

Got the offer as a 1K who is just over 30k EQM this year. This should help me get to Plat with my planned travel. It will be interesting if my transcon that got re-ticketed (due to a UA bug) yesterday will be in their sweep.

Yet my wife is at 90K+ EQMs on the year and got targeted.
So it might be *clearly* targeted, but as usual UA's IT systems aren't very precise.

1K w/ 95K (last year 165k this time of year) not eligible
1K w/ 32K (last year 125k this time of year) eligible but that person has no intention of flying UA anymore this year.

Over Entitled Silver here with 40 PQM's and am not eligible for this. Just flew in August after 2 months of no UA flights -- hope that didn't bump me out of the target pool.
I have a few more trips, so should make Gold by years end. It would be nice to get the 50% extra just to hit the mark sooner

1K with just under 30K PQM and received the offer. I was at about 70K EQM at this time last year with a lot more spend. I had three UA flights last month and a short haul scheduled for next week when I got the offer. Will have enough to get to 1P assuming I can take a planned vacation in November to Europe, but PP is more of a possibility now assuming a few more transcons for work.

1K MM with 77K this year, did not get the offer. It's actually not clear if I'll hit 1K again, so the offer would have been useful to me. Would actually change my travel patterns which is presumably what they want -- but then there's no real way for them to know that.
