Thanks!

2 x premium seat ($750) for 5,000 miles. doesn't seem like a good offer.

Me (1k) Book 4x $500 - 6000 miles
Spouse (silver) Book 3x $500 - 5800 miles

This will have zero incentive effect, even on the margin as I could buy 6000 miles for less than an additional qualifying ticket. (Well, I suppose in theory if I had a $460 ticket I might upfare . . . )

By using the online link (https://promotions.united.com/offers/mileplay), a familiar option appeared: Book and fly 4x and earn 4,200 miles.

What's interesting is there's a "see all offers here" link on the page that you get to see a) your current offers but b) all past offers.

That's relevant because, when I click on the past offers tab, it shows that I received this very same sad mileplay offer that ended back in October 2019. And didn't get any of the other offers completed since.

Ha!

Take 3 or more trips at $9,000 or above in value and earn a bonus 250 miles. That’s what the offers all feel like to me. Literally none of the offers they send me are even remotely worth putting any effort into

5 x $450 for 14K miles. Not going out of my way, but will probably hit it.

4x $300 for 3600. That’s $46 at today’s generous TPG valuation. Not worth it for the stretch though I’ll probably hit it anyways.

5x @ $450 for 29k.

We'll see. Depends on what Covid-19 does to travel plans.
