While I see your point, I think you're more advocating for "planning ahead" on the part of FFs... not so much that UA is somehow being altruistic here by offering everyone this great opportunity! There's a LOT of ways to get 15k+ miles in the 9 months between now and Dec 31. There's only a limited number of ways to get 15k+ miles on Xmas Eve -- which is when a lot of the aforementioned desperation threads start popping up!

Okay, but even then, wouldn't you rather take a flight with that money to get the PQM? Especially if PQD isn't a concern, you can get all sorts of good deals to interesting places. Maybe in November, but it's March - I'm sure we can all find the time for a one or two day MR between now and the end of the year.

I'm more curious why I have no offer at all.
I receive all other emails from UA, almost daily. I'm even guilty of purchasing EQM's years ago...
Currently low on EQM, EQS, but high on spend. I would think I would be a target for this. Unless UA thinks I will be a GS (not happening) with current spend in the last two months.

That and having the PP Mastercard eliminates both spending limit with the bonus of Flex PQM. Platinum on the cheap suits me fine in retirement

Also got offer for 15,000 PQM's for $1820. I guess it might make sense if you're absolutely sure of your travel plans for the rest of the year and MR's aren't possible for you. I'd feel bad if I requalified on my own and this turned out to be a waste of money.
How about if they included this statement with the purchase: "At the end of the year, we'll send you a note asking if you want to apply those PQM's. If you end up not needing them, we'll convert the amount you paid into a travel credit for use on a future flight." I would be tempted to buy what is in effect an insurance policy against my not flying as much as I thought. Either way, UA gets the use of the funds now, and their worst case scenario is that the funds go to a seat that they might otherwise have sold to someone else..

My Premier Accelerator offers are 12 cpm for PQMs + RDMs
My offers from this promo are 13-14 cpm for PQMs, no RDMs -- but does offer PQS (no a segment flyer, so of no value to me)
Neither offer PQDs but with a PQD waiver and no plans to go higher than Plat this year -- a non-issue.
Doubt I will do either but the Premier Accelerator is clearly the better deal
The discountinity at 11,000 PQMs is odd, nearly the same price as 10,000 ?????
