Likely no

I would be very surprised that UA will say yes to your request.

I had trip to SIN last week though. Ugh. Wonder whether any chance to get retroactive credit...?
Out of curiosity, how many total PQD did you get for your SFO-SIN and/or SIN-SFO segments that you just flew?

Grr. This ticketing date restriction sucks. Come on united. I just booked a few days before the promo.

Just saw UA posted another milage bonuses:
  • Earn 5x Bonus Miles on Flights from Newark to Mexico City (Registration required, offer expires May 31, 2019)
I'm guessing UA won't be generous in awarding 5x PQM for this offer (i.e. it's only award miles?). Last I checked flights to/from EWR to MEX are cheap (~180 GBP roundtrip)

Yes, just like the other offers -- award miles only. Still better than nothing.

If I can just convince UA to add a 7x multiplier to all of my routes, I might break even on dollar-based earning.

Damn just booked tickets last week and looks like need to register before even buying ticket. Stupid rule. I paid $250 round trip so not huge deal in grand scheme of things

I should also add, for the Newark to Mexico City deal, this also includes any flights to MEX on UA which involve the segment EWR <-> MEX so if you were flying say DTW to MEX via EWR on UA that would also count in the promotion per the T&Cs.

OK, I can see how the additional 3420RDM you're missing out on (due to flying before registering) is a bigger issue in your case compared to the 507RDM ($169PQD from SFO-HKG) that I'm not eligible for! ^

Took a couple days after my flight posted for the bonus miles to show up Flew IAH-SFO-SIN got bonus miles for the IAH-SFO leg which surprised me, guess I missed that in the rules.
Was gold at time. IAH-SFO leg was $66 PQD so earned 528miles plus 198 bonus miles. SFO-SIN leg was $377 PQD so earned 2,696 miles plus the 1,011 bonus miles.

If the ticket is booked an hour prior to registration, do I still need to rebook?

3. To earn the bonus, you must register for this offer prior to booking and completing a qualifying flight.

There has been some discussion of this in the past -- my memory isn't clear enough to remember if same day actual works or not.

I'd cancel and rebook to be sure.

had to rebook a SIN ticket today. It's D-class, so I am not holding my breath here.
