E+ on sale? 35% off

Just noticed an ad drom UA on my FB offering me 35% off on E+ for my June flights. We only have one flight in June, late in the month to finish our move to LAS and we already have nice E+ seats because my wife is Gold.....I guess their marketing people did not reall research their targets.

Would you really be happier if UA could match your FB profile to your MP account?

I would be happier if UA could manage to clear more than one upgrade request every two years.....My question was more about the noted E+ "sale".

I think its an ad that is sent to everyone regardless of whether you are Premier Gold / higher, or not, so they can capture a lot of the potential market. Remember that MileagePlus doesn't have 2.38 billion people as members while facebook does.

Their system always blasts out emails like this across the spectrum of status levels & mailing list members. Despite already having requalified as a 1k for next year I got an email today offering to sell me award accelerator PQMs. Stuff like this is normal for UA. I disregard.

I’m guessing their email marketing team pulls in 1k status a few times per year to make that award status based email segments. Chances are low they bother to further segment their list to those who have or have not qualified yet. The benefit to doing that is near zero (maybe prevent a few unsubscribes) while the revenue generated from getting a few of those opens to convert to sale is high.
