This time I got a offered a crazy number: get 140,000 miles for booking 3 tickets in Premium class costing at least $1,800 each. Better than the pathetic offer I got previously: 2,500 miles for one ticket.

But I did not take the offer last time and I will not take the offer this time as I tend to buy my tickets in advance. I have already booked all my travel until July.

I got a really easy one but I can't believe this - last time, i was on vacation most of the period so I did 2 out of the 3 required trips.

This time, I already booked 4 trips between now and the end of the promotion. So, missed it again :-(

It might be worth a mileage run though (offer is 1 trip) as I need the PQMs anyway.

Wow, I got a REALLY easy yet unrewarding one.

(Each of these can be done individually or in any combination)

Book one trip $125 or more - 500 bonus miles
Purchase and fly in Economy Plus - 200 bonus miles
Check a bag - 400 bonus miles

Do all three - 2300 bonus miles, for a total of 3400 bonus miles.

the rules state purchase e+ and pay for checked baggage...just clearing any confusion in case you already have status.

You're right, it's in the T&Cs. I merely quoted what it said in the center of the screen.

15k miles for 1 premium cabin trip over $700, should be no problem to make.

Take 1 trip* by 13 May to get 10,000 award miles.
*$350 minimum fare

Incidentally, $350 is currently the exact cost to buy 10k miles from UA.

I really wish AA would do stuff like this.

This time: 2x premium cabin trips over $2k for 18k miles.
Last time: 2x premium cabin trips over $2k for 130k miles.

I'll probably end up hitting it due to lots of last-minute international J trips, as I did last time, but that's a pretty big decrease for the same action... :/

Have you updated the app lately? If not, it definitely won't show anything. Or, you can just go to the direct link to the website to see if you're eligible...

Not going to make it since I had already booked my travel out through May before this came open.
