I did participate in last years promo but that was not quite so short term and seems to be almost universally available.

https://promotions.united.com/offers/flyunited
I did not receive the email but had a ridiculous offer (already qualified for 1K with more than $12000 spend):
Spend $4100 receive 16,000 bonus miles
Spend $7500 receive 96,000 bonus miles

$5,000 for 19,500
$6,200 for 36,000
Unlike last year's promo, this will not affect my travel at all.
Especially with the double devaluation, which makes the miles ever less valuable.

Received:
$3800 for 15,500 miles
$6900 for 90,000 miles
Ticketing must be after September 14 so it's a 2 month window to book and fly. I won't be targeting or hitting those targets in all likelihood.

$2800 - 11,000 miles
$3,500 - 20,500
Pretty low for me and with my scheduled travel I most likely wont hit it. If this was the last two months I would have made it easily
Had a much better offer in march for $1,300 spend for 24,000 miles

I'm a 1K with 0 PQM/PQD this year. I got:
$4,400 -> 46K miles
$10,200 -> 168,500 miles
I could conceivably move spend around to hit this. So spending $10K = 214K miles + 110K RDM form ticket = ~300K miles. Hopefully there's no big devaluation coming
Pretty tempted to pull the trigger on this.
