MilePlay March 15 - May 15, 2019

I just had a new MilePlay offer pop up on the app. In my case, it's book 5 times (min $250) for 14K miles. Promo runs until 5/15. As with previous MilePlay promos, all flights must be booked and flown within the promotion period to qualify, and only flights operated by United or United Express qualify.

The promotion code is T007MA.

The signup page also appears to be available on the web: https://promotions.united.com/offers/mileplay

Wow. 2 trips, $150, 7100 miles.

How do 1-ways work? Is it “2 trips” if I book 2 o/w trips?

yes

Trip” is defined as each unique travel itinerary as documented by United with a confirmation number.

Mine is one $500 trip for 3700 bonus miles. Weak!

You call this weak? How about no offer at all?

The app was still showing me my previous MilePlay offer which expired March 10th. However I was able to register for this one via the link in jsloan's post: take a trip twice by May 15th ($100+) for 2,500 award miles, after which refreshing in the app showed the current offer.

I might actually hit this one (I mean, "organically" obv, not that 2,500 miles is going to sway me )

I think they have given up on me. 1 trip, $250, 10k miles.

I actually have two trips booked in that time frame. One of them is well over $250 (like, $1400 or so). But... I book my trips early. I'm not about to book a new trip that I don't want just for 10k miles. Or cancel and rebook for a fee.

This promo is just stupid, at least for me.

2 premium cabin trips, minimum $950 each, 5700 miles.

These things always come out right after I've booked my tickets. I already have qualifying travel within the period.

4 trips
$300 per trip
3,600 miles.

While happy to be eligible again, I continue to be stumped by United's rationale for these. Bonus miles aren't high enough to sway any purchase decisions...so this is just an extra bump if I happen to hit the requirements organically.

Yup. I had a super easy offer last time, but it wasn't enough points to make me cancel an existing AS booking and rebook on UA. The math did not work. And I did get upgraded both directions on AS. On 320s with the old VX seats.

Right now, for $675 I could buy 26,000 miles. For goodeats21’s $1200, I could buy 58,000.

At the very least we should appreciate that United is still putting their costly Random-Sequence-Generator-2000 to good use!
