Thanks.
No implication that they have to be done in two trips. T&Cs explicitly list the answer to your second question.

I'm a Platinum (down from 1K last year), no offer.

Got a postcard in the mail for my son, who has no status, $500 - 9,700 miles, $1000 - 21,800 miles.

Because your purchase history shows you pay on average higher prices for tickets than those with lower spending requirements, like me.

Runway bonus miles promotion

Got a postcard in the mail for UA's new Runway promotion. Spend $350 by July 31 for 7,500 bonus miles, spend $800 for 19,300 bonus miles.

If I buy tickets for family members traveling on the same itinerary, does the total value of the ticket count towards the spend goal, or just the value of my ticket? The terms & conditions aren't clear on this point.

Granted it could be clearer but does state
Qualifying flight activity must be posted to the member's MileagePlus account in order to qualify for this offer.
The $$$ goals are based on PQDs for UA operated flights, "based on what posts in your MP account." The fares for others will not post to your account.

Now I am showing a third “hidden” offer after I complete the first two dollar requirements.

Anyone else have this?

What was your original offer and what's the third?

Original offer is: spend $1,040 get 5,500 miles; spend $1,300 get 11,800 miles.

Then I now have a third hidden offer which I will get to see once I complete the first two which should be next week.

I just landed on my 25th segment this year and have never held any previous UA status but switched over from AA gold last year. I doubt it’s a challenge as UA doesn’t know my other status, or if they do I don’t know how they found out.

I had the hidden offer as well. I need to spend $2,180 total to unlock $120 for my TravelBank.

I completed the first 2 milestones, which were spend $1,360 get 5,500 miles and spend $1,740 get 9,000 additional miles for 14,500 total miles.

Do you think a flight issued on LH stock, but operated by United, would count?

I doubt it, I think it needs to be booked on ual.com just like PQD.

Actually, I have received PQD for UA-operated flights regardless of who issued the ticket. Just not sure about the rules for this promo.
