I got the email - but it's telling me that I've either logged in with an inelligible account or I've already taken advantage of the offer? Neither is true so not sure what gives.

Just called customer service. Apparently a lot of people are experiencing this "bug" It's a know issue. Given people's reaction to the offer - maybe it's a good thing.

UPDATE: Supervisor said that the offer will only let you do a maximum of 15k miles a year and I guess I did this earlier in the year so I don't qualify. She apologized b/c she said they were getting lots of calls and didn't understand why they were sending offers to people that didn't qualify.

I guess UA only wants so much of your money. It's interesting they would limit it frankly given that you still need to satisfy the PQD requirement - at least for 1k.

That has been the cap for January buy-ups and these PQM boosts since they were first offered (2013?)

The Premier Award Accelerator does not have the same limit and is many times cheaper but you have less selectability on the quantity.

Only UA would have a system which caps the ability to purchase really expensive, mostly useless, things in convenient quantities, while at the same time allow you to buy unlimited amounts of those very same mostly useless things at a much cheaper price point in undesirable amounts.
