Considering I have spent about $250 on UA revenue tickets in the past 18 months (but flown numerous UA award segments) my offer seems comparatively generous:
Spend $500 -->10k
Spend $1,000 --> 15k
Spend $2,500 --> 25k
This is the first time UA has taken the slightest notice of me since my flying began tailing off in 2013.

I'm GS and spend over $100k in base fares, so not surprising:
$40,000 = 65,000 RDMs
$45,000 = 97,000 RDMs
$50,000 = 162,000 RDMs
$40,000 = 65,000 RDMs
$45,000 = 97,000 RDMs
$50,000 = 162,000 RDMs

I got:
$500 = 10,000 RDMs
$1,000 = +15,000 RDMs
$2,500 = +25,000 RDMs
E-mail also stated I that they gave me an Economy Plus subscription, but it's not under my subscriptions![Confused](https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/images/smilies/confused.gif)
Edit: Did a dummy booking and it's giving me E+ for free, cool! Might actually use UA for a few trips.

My luck blows. Booked a bunch of resos yesterday and got the promo this afternoon. Would have required cancelling 17 trips and rebooking them etc for 85k RDMs on $10k PQD spend. Ended up not doing that to the poor 1k agent.

So these numbers are ADDITIONAL spend on top of the PQD I already have? If so, I have to spend another $40,000 ... if not, I only have to spend $10,000 to get 215,000 miles.

..., my lowest threshold is $32k. and the flight i booked 3 days ago ($5k) doesn't even count. i highly doubt i'll make it. i'm already at $20k this year - i would make GS if i hit the lowest bonus. but it seems highly doubtful i will spend that much money.
