Neither SO nor I are elgible. I eventually got one of the previous offers this spring and achieved the "hidden" level. Have 2 trips booked this year. Bummer.

Spend $550 in a premium cabin and receive 5,000 RDMs. No thanks...last offer I recall was book two premium cabin trips $600+ and receive 60,000 RDMs...did not take advantage of that offer either.

Might be my best offer yet...
Book and take a trip 2 times by August 12, 2018 to get 15,000 bonus award miles. Each purchased fare must be a minimum of $250 to qualify.
With work travel, this should be easy to hit, making me three for three since March, 2018. Including this offer, total "earned" award miles will be 26,600.

From the offers I am seeing here they seem expensive for what the "reward" is. Real rewards are always tempting but this one, from what I see here is not worth it for me. My biggest concern at the moment is how to buy 4000 PQMs to get my wife back to Gold for 2019 when all of the buy more miles offers on our upcoming trips are for 10K+ miles... I am half tempted to try and find the time to just make a quick extra trip to LAS and see my munchkins for a few days.

What kind of flying pattern do you have typically? For instance, I've never flown in a premium cabin, so I'm guessing the algorithm knows not to offer me premium cabin challenges.

Once again, I got an offer that I will not take. A good one: 64,000 bonus miles for 1 trip in a premium cabin costing $2,000. Unfortunately, I had booked my trip to PVG in January so it won't qualify. Fortunately, I had booked my trip to PVG in January. If I had waited until today, I would be paying $7,880 for my Polaris Business seat. I paid $3,600. At $7,880 I would not purchase Polaris Business. I would purchase Economy at $1,043 so it wouldn't qualify anyways.
