Not bad. Certainly makes me a little more likely to book more UA over DL from MSO.

Mine is
16K $6,000
24K $6,500
39K $9,000
The first two are likely, the third not so much. Still, it's a very unexpected, generous offer.

$1500 - 9000 miles
$2000 - extra 14,000 miles
$3000 - extra 22,000 miles.
It is almost as if they used a random number generator, my kids took the exact same flights, same PQD, etc for the last 4 years, yet different targets.
It is almost as if United's marketing department is composed of a series of monkey's randomly typing into computers.
This said, I think I have a black piggy next to my name (but so does Goalie!)

Another wonderful promotion where United rewards those who spend less than those who spend plenty..., and then wonder why folks hate them.

Not targeted. Entered my MP number and saw:
$500 = 10,000 miles
$1000 = 15,000
$2500 = 25,000
They must have low thresholds for low spenders like me. I will not spend a penny more than I need to; I am done chasing status and miles for several years now. I may not even hit the first threshold of $500 as I have purchased most of my tickets for this year already.

I'm UA Silver, ~$4,900 PQD YTD, and no more UA rev flights booked this year.
No email, but the link offered:
$1k = 8k RDMs
$1.5k = 11k RDMs
$3k = 18k RDMs
So total 37k bonus RDMs for $3k additional spend... 10.3 RDM per dollar ($0.096 per RDM)

Disgusting... Need to spend $38,500 PQD to receive 40,000, $40,500 for another 60,000, and $42,500 for a final 114,000.
I won't get there.
Stupid that my non-status (upped to Silver) family member can get 50,000 bonus miles on $2,500 PQD.
I can't believe how terrible UA is at rewarding HVF's... set the bar just too high to get rewarded.
My bet based on the way they did this is that they calculated my estimated spend at the end of the year, and are pushing me to spend an extra $10,000 or so in exchange for 214,000 award miles.
UA just tried to implement a quick algorithm that is ludicrous.

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.

Looks like my offer has fairly low thresholds w/ ok bonuses. The Mrs got nada.
We have almost the same PQM ~75K, my PQD is ~$8K, her's ~$3K.
$2,000=23,000
$3,500=34,000
$6,000=56,000
