98,000 miles for 4 premium cabin trips of at least $2,000 each.

Just like previous offers, zero chance I'll hit that, although at least this time the reward is enough to make it at least vaguely worthwhile.

My offer (currently Platinum, but will be 1K in a couple weeks):
Book and take a trip 1 time by January 31, 2019 to get 14,000 bonus award miles. Minimum $350 fare.
I don't have anything planned for January, but I might book a trip just to get the bonus.

My girfriend's offer (no status):
Complete 3 activities to earn up to 2,700 bonus award miles.
* Book and take a trip (minimum $200 fare): 500
* Purchase and fly in Economy Plus®: 400 miles
* Stay with Marriott® by booking at united.com/RPBonus**: 500 miles
* Bonus: Complete all 3 activities: 1,300 miles

These always seem to go active a day or two after a flight that would give me enough flights to qualify.

my last one was 4 premium cabin fares for 300k miles. I got 3 during the period but if it started 4 days earlier I would have had 4

this time it’s 3 flights from eWR for 2,400miles pretty boring

Book and take a trip in a premium cabin 3 times by January 31, 2019 to get 5,400 bonus award miles.

Travel booked for January already. Seems to be targeted at last minute, high fare purchasers for whom 5,400 award miles would barely be noticed.

Bring back a 2x PQM offer and then I might be interested.

Did you check the website? There was at least one of the promotions that I never received an email for, but was able to register for by just going to the website.

As usual, mine is lame - book 2 premium tickets and get 7,500 award miles. That doesnt even make me click the link. I understand how part of this is market research to see what motivates people but why would they even go that low?

Also surprised at the people they send offers to like "4 premium tickers for 100k miles" who only fly a few premium flights a year. If these were 6 month promotions, maybe, but on these short timelines they seem like the algorithms are stupid.

Have they actually enforced the "only transactions initiated after registration" requirement in recent iterations of this promo?

ETA: Each fare must be at least $1000. So much for three times SFO-LAX
IME, yes. Which is really stupid. I just booked 3 flights that would qualify today and will get diddly squat.

Well, it makes sense. If the goal is to get you to book travel, why reward people for something they've already done.

That said, why not cancel booking and rebook after registration?
