seems like this is likely a targeted offer as no love for this gold who previously has purchased RDMs within the last 12 months.

I received the email but it's still cheaper to book an itin and purchase miles from that.

Damn it.... I missed out the 40% off offer which expired on June 30. Now I need 24000 miles to flight a business to BKK. Sigh!

Mileage Plus Miles 30% Off - May be Targeted

Just got an e-mail from UA that miles (minimum 4000) can be bought at a 30% discount. Seems to be targeted, but at about 0.03 cpm doesn't seem all that great. Some people might be interested if they need just a few miles.

I'm confused. 30% off of 3.5 cpm would be 2.45 cpm.
