I wonder if I'll get better offers after I lose my UA*G in 2021...not that I'm ever crediting to MP again after that.

1 trip >$250 for 10,000 miles. If I can find a $250 trip, I think that's a pretty good deal.

What's your UA status? I really wonder if they're throwing better offers at people who aren't regular customers.

Even the promotions are garbage nowadays.

3 x trip @ $500 each for 4500 miles.

Worst offer yet, and I still won't manage to complete it.....so doesn't really matter.

Auto enrolled!
4X 1way, & 200.00 min. out of EWR for a whopping 2.5K !
The good news, I’m planning @8 trips in that time frame.
The bad news, 2.5K ?

The +1 is offered 1 way out of EWR for 9K !

No status, haven't flown UA since Dec 2016. I suspect they are targeting people to bring new business.

5 x $350 for 35K.

I wonder why I'm getting offers for more RDM than so many others. I made the last one -- 4 x $300 for 44K, -- but my travel is trailing off for the year. I'd be surprised if I make this one (he wrote just before going to book a trip next week ... ).

3 trips at $225 for 8500 miles.

I could not be more indifferent.

4x$175 for 2500 miles.

Seriously United? You have to do better than that. I just earned 1K for the first time and already I'm not thrilled with the new rewards system and this irritates me even more.

I'll make the bonus, but that is an almost worthless bonus.

Kacee, we're both 1K and both 1MM. We're both CA-based, though I'm LAX, and you're SFO. They want me to spend $1750 versus your $675 for ~4x the RDM. I wonder what the difference is. When this promotion came out, I had zero UA flights booked. How about you?

I'm just really curious as to what the algorithm that determines these offers keys upon.

FWIW, I definitely wouldn't go out of my way for 8500 RDM.

It's total black box. I've been mostly burning miles the past few months, a few paid tix, nothing expensive. I did hit my last Mileplay (4 $200 trips for 5700 miles) purely by accident.
