I got 5x $350 for 12k

Maybe a lousy offer because I just coincidentally made the last one, 3x $350 for 17k.

2 trips of $200 for 14,000 miles. I think I will make it work this time. The past few mileplay promos were not very good.

Just to give y'all some background on my flights: last trip I booked with UA was 2/14/2020 IAD-AUS one way which was booked some time in December 2019. Had no other travel plans on UA in my queue.

I'm curious for those of you who have low mile offers (i.e.: those in the 2,500 or 5k range): did you have any trips in your queue that were already made through May 10? If I were to guess what the algorithms were for United's mileplay, it's to encourage travelers to buy flights during periods that they would otherwise not buy. The so-called carrot on the stick. Well, they certainly won me over and I will make a trip out of this to chase after those award miles.

I got nothing. Last MilePlay was the first time I had actually achieved the goal (2 flights for 18,000 miles), so I was rewarded with no MilePlay option this round.

That seems pretty good.

My offer is 4 trips at $225 for 19,000 miles. I guess I could break 2 domestic r.t.s into 4 one-ways.

A little early for me to be doing math, but (I think) this 1K ends up with 29.19x RDM multiplier on a $900 spend, decreasing as spend increases.
