What a joke of an offer: 5 trips within the next 7 weeks, each min. $350, and get 18K miles. Whatever their algorithm is, it certainly needs major improvement!

I was offered 40k miles for 1 premium cabin trip of $1,000. In mid-October I have a work trip booked to Japan in Y, now I just have to hope for a cheap J upgrade offer....currently the offer is $8k to upgrade SFO-HAN to J lol

You think that's bad?
Mine is book 5 trips in premium cabin, each trip needs to be $900, get 50K bonus miles. (Spend $5000 minimum, get 50K bonus points).
Too bad it didn't start 3 days earlier. I would have had 2 trips already. I don't even think I will even have 5 trips between now and the end of Oct. (I only count 3 so far, and one is on AA!)

You get 1 mile per 0.10 at 50K for $5000 spend
@Kacee and I get 0.03, so you get 3 times more value for your "Bonus" even if it is harder to attain

I was allowed even as a silver. Roughly 4000 spend this year. Unfortunately no more trips planned this year for work.

Can somebody re-post the link? The one in the OP results in "We couldn't find what you were looking for... It looks like the page you requested could not be found. Please try again." for me, even removing the end and just trying https://promotions.united.com/offers/mileplay/

I won't even bother posting my abysmal offer. I was hoping for something decent after my status matched friend received a good offer. Feeling better after reading the thread. For a moment I was white hot.

First Mileplay as a 1K = 16,000 miles for 4 trips of $350 each. I have well over $1400 worth of United travel planned before 31 Oct but only spread over two trips. Does anyone know if splitting up PNRs can trigger multiple trips or any other tricks to that effect?
Additionally, if my reservation was booked prior to promotion registration, but has not been ticketed yet, will it count?
