Mile Play (through Oct 31 2019)
Grrr, just noticed a new one this evening, and had just recently booked something that's outside the window now 
Book and take a flight to or from San Francisco (SFO)*
*Each purchased fare must be a minimum of $250 to qualify
On the bright side it was only for 4k bonus miles.

Was wondering when this one would drop... Seems like they go a bit under 3 weeks between.
3x @$500 for me for 7.5k. Meh, although I'll likely make it as I need the PQD anyway. Sounds like another day trip to BTV for some good beer, another transcon for the miles, and something else...

As I usually book 8-10 weeks out, just booked a Nov trip last week, these rarely could work for me (the few times I get an offer -- maybe due to may booking pattern)
Look on the mobile app, very bottom of the home page.

Book 4 trips ($200 minimum), earn 5700 miles.
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.

I didn't get an email, just been checking every few days.
I forget if these are rolled out in any gradual fashion but you might try again later in the week/next week etc.

Book and take a trip 2 times to get 14,000 bonus award miles.
*Each purchased fare must be a minimum of $450 to qualify
I already have travel booked for next month. Will that trip qualify?

Indeed; almost all UA T&C for offers requires ticketing after the promo starts. Making a change to the booking that triggers reticketing can usually qualify a prior booking, but that means upfaring or paying a change fee in most cases.

For the first time, this 1K actually got an above average offer... And it's for a 1K who's already requalified, so not a light spender that UA is trying to encourage.
3 trips @$500 for 39000 miles.
I'll have one trip for sure, perhaps 2. But the third? $500 is not worth 39k miles.
