Isn't J fully refundable? If so, and there's still availability, why not just rebook?

I'm surprised to be included. My offer is:
$4k - 16k miles
$5k - 24k miles (40k total)
$7.5k - 40k miles (80k total)
Of course, I just bought an $1100 ticket last night (which will not count)

Haven't flown UA at all this year (Silver status is via Marriott):
$500 - 10k miles
$1000 - 15k miles
$2500 - 25k miles
Registered just in case I end up on a couple business trips on UA. Not bad actually for me.

$7,500 --> 17k
$8,500 --> 25k
$10,500 --> 41k
Total: 83k
This is a lousy offer, not gonna bother even trying. Most of my flights are *A metal because I don't particularly like UA's product.

Mine's pretty good, and I'm sure I'll hit the middle one, if not maybe even the last:
$500 = 10,000
$1000 = 15,000
$2500 = 25,000
I haven't flown UA much this year (3 HOU-DAL turns on WN and not much other travel), but I intend to make up for it in the summer/fall.
