- Flights have to be booked after registration (so doesn't apply to existing itineraries)
- Fare class restrictions--only high-yield fare classes are valid (F/A/C/D/J/Z/P/Y/B/M/E).
- Must fly before end of promo period
- etc.

Received a triple RDM offer. I've spent as much in six months this year as I spent last year but have no real revenue flights booked in the last four months of the year. Perhaps UA thinks I've done a status match.

Last year: 110,000 BIS miles on UA. This year: 0 miles. You might think they would target a long-time MM who has fled to get them to return rather than someone who will probably make 1k on their own this year. So far, I haven't been missed. Luckily, I'll have my Lifetime Gold status (unless they take that away, too).

Got this offer (although only F,A,J,C,D fares) and considering it since I'll need about 15,000 miles to make platinum and it might be worth it to do a mileage run. Can anyone help out with this:
"6. Double Premier qualifying miles is defined as two Premier qualifying miles for each mile flown and include base Premier qualifying miles earned on paid segments flown during the promotion period."
So, typical first class is 1.5 PQM. Does this mean I will earn 3 PQM? or 2.5? or just 2? Kinda confusing. Thanks in advance

I was targeted as well. Sitting on roughly 12K PQM's. T&C's say H fare and above and it's per segment (no roundtrip requirement). There is limit of 25K bonus PQM's.

Has anyone seen these miles posted yet?
Offer said 6-8 weeks after end of promotion on 10/31... wondering if anyone has gotten the bonus PQM's yet? I'm still waiting and since they make the difference between 2p and 1p for me, I need them!

It is very common for these promo threads to get a post once the bonus shows up -- so lack of such as post is a good indication on no bonus yet.
2014 PQMs can post as late a 31 Jan 2015 and status for 2015 will be correct.

I was somewhat surprised when I got one of these for double award miles, more surprised that the miles posted a couple of days ago within the 6-8 weeks after the end of the promotion, and not at all surprised that I can't figure out how United came up with the miles that it gave me and that there isn't any breakout in the posting to help.
Oh well, by my accounting they gave me an extra 1134 miles, should I call and try to have it corrected?
