As posted earlier, my offer is:
$38,000 = 56,000 miles
$43,000 = 83,000 miles
$47,500 = 138,000 miles
Just finished booking my flights through end of November and I'm at $34,000. I have around $10,000 more on routes UA doesn't fly, and a trip EWR-BKK to book in Dec. No bonus for me.

P.S. My offer is
$1,000 = 13,000 miles
$2,000 = 20,000 miles
$3,500 = 33,000 miles
Will hit the 1st with 1 trip, but that's about it... Silver now (complimentary, I guess) didn't fly much last year.

Yes, of course you have to credit to UA. How do you think they would credit the dollars to your MP number if you put your KF number in the reservation?

I registered a couple of months ago. How can I see that I am registered (to be sure)?

It should prompt you for your MP # and a captcha, and then show your registration status/progress.

Yay, I'm $63 into my $1,000 milestone
Funny, one of the legs of my trip was rebooked after I registered for the promo and I got credit for it, but not for the rest of the trip.

Such a strange offer.
$9500 for 18,000 Miles
$10,000 for 27,000 Miles
$13,000 for 44,000 Miles
I'm already at $16,500 in spend so the goals would put me at $25K! Ouch.
Also as a 1K, I'd get 100,000+ miles for the $9500 bonus. ???
And lastly, I routinely get accelerator offers that could get me 18,000 miles for pennies. I have offers of $243 for 9000 miles on the next 5 flights I have booked, so for $1,250 I could get 45,000 bonus miles.
Computer algorithm gone awry?
If the first tier had "and Global Services" for 2018 I *might* try for it, but otherwise, have no idea what they are thinking!

Just hit my final goal I got a total of 53,000 miles for around 6K.
I didn't change my travel plans at all for this bonus. I think my target was based on my 2015 UA travel which was much less than 2016.

That's not a very good price. I wouldn't pay more than 2.0 cpm.

Agreed. That said I have not had an offer under 1.8 all this year. Had some great ones last year that I didn't bite on, but was tempted as I made 1K by only 115 miles

I had:
$4500 for 13,000 miles
$5000 for 20,000 miles
$7000 for 33,000 miles
Wasn't sure if I would even make it past the first milestone at the time of the offer but I finished the 3rd this week. The big difference for me was a trip to Japan booked before the offer started that was fully counted when I re-fared to BF.
