Last seat availability for GPU upgrades? I think Oscar Munoz would have to fly coach before that could happen.

On the other hand not to get sidetracked but they should really have a separate bucket for 1k instrument upgrades instead of having all non GS share the same bucket which can easily get snatched up.

Alas, Big Daddy UA's getting greedier but making the offer valid for longer. Now I have until the end of the month...

However, Big Daddy want's more:

I guess check your mystatus.united.com or your e-mail spam box to see what the Big Daddy has to offer you...I ain't buyin' any of this UA-enriching Bravo Sierra...

I got an email yesterday. Currently have ~20k PQMs/$1500 PQD, though will roughly double both figures with booked travel.

$1990 here. This is the first year I won’t make 1K since 2003, so I thought about it. It won’t be enough, and I only drop to plat by lifetime.

$2340 for 15K for me. With two follow-up emails (so far) encouraging me to complete my purchase before the offer ends. I'm at 58k PQM/$7.7K PQD.

I got the email but when I clicked through it said I wasn't eligible. Why'd they send me the email in the first place?

Red face United is getting sophisticated about mile and award pricing
United is clearly getting sophisticated about mile and award pricing. They seem to be experimenting with prices (my offer ranges $0.125-$0.14 per mile) and deadlines (my offer expires today, others saw offers that expired in March.

I wonder if we'll see such price discrimination ("targeted offers") with the new variable award prices...

... and a new offer today, expires May 28. This time I got the version that tops out at $15k for $1990, presumably since I didn't bite on the April offer

Mine expires May 28. I would be happy if I had such a cheap offer that I could decline. Mine is 15k PQM for roughly 3200$. With 45kPQM and 7500PQD racked up.
