Sorry for the 'noob question, but are the double miles eligible for EQM or is it only for award miles because of: "This offer does not apply to Premier® qualifying miles (PQM), class-of-service bonus miles, class-of-service PQM, Premier bonus miles, redeemable bonus miles or other promotional PQM."
I normally don't pay attention to these and have a tough time differentiating between PQMs and EQMs

What we used to call Elite Qualifying Miles (EQM), post-merger UA calls PQM, I suppose to keep to their "premier" branding.

I wonder what the point of this promotion is. It's a relatively short time between travel and booking leading up to Thanksgiving. If it's leisure travelers, I'd bet almost all of them have things arranged already or have put off Thanksgiving travel. Business travelers will probably not change their plans anyway just for double RDM on domestic portions.
Now, double EQM...that might motivate me!

Worked for me, if I read correctly, it looks like I can stack this promo with the SEA-NRT promo, so double RDM all the way from EWR to NRT. (Going to book a P/Z fare this week)

Right, double RDM for domestic parts under this promo. And then double RDM for SEA-NRT under http://www.united.com/web/en-US/apps...omoCode=TB9M50 ? Either way I still need the ticket, so double miles under any promo will be good for me.

As a many times last-minute business traveler, this is no problem for me. Hopefully, that trip to london in early November is confirmed, along with that trip to PHX. Would be a welcome break from the 30 ORD-LGA-ORD trips I've taken this year, and perfect timing for double RDMs!
