2 $500 trips for 6,000

I am $2k away from 1K and about 45k from 1MM, that alone is motivation enough

If I hit this, it will be purely by coincidence. My present inclination to spend additional dollars to earn additional UA miles is exactly zero.
Even worse offer: Book 4 trips ($250 minimum), earn 3,000 miles Pathetic.

Exactly same opinion on hitting it.

First of all I just booked three trips so I am very angry. BUT!!! my Mileplay is 4 trips @ 225 for 4,600 miles. Come on, United. Honey no.

I have two in mind to book but I don't know if I will be able to take another 2 in the timeframe given I have vacation in these months.

So far, I've only been eligible for one of these. I wonder how they select who is eligible and who is not.

Thanks for your interest.

Unfortunately, the account number you entered is not eligible for this offer. Please visit united.com to view your account details, book flights, and explore all the ways to earn and use miles.

I'm going to get this one: two trips @ $150 for 8,000 miles. I'll book my next DAY-LAX as two one ways and knock it off in a single outing.

8,000 miles worth $300 for you?

I'm going to LA anyway. Just looked at November fares and I see I'll have to pay a little over the lowest possible fare — maybe $60 or so. I'm pretty sure miles are still worth more than $0.75, even after the devaluation.

[EDIT] Whoops, I forgot a little detail in Google Flights. Looking at United flights only, I only have to overpay compared to other airlines. Why do we do this again?

4 trips at $300 each for 3900 miles. I have a lot of trans cons in that time, but it’s not worth to go out of my way it for the piddly amount of miles
