Nothing for me or my spouse. I actually completed the last challenge (ended last month), and my wife hasn't completed any in the last couple years.

the sad thing for United is that this wont lure me back into anything. If they happen to be the best choice for a flight in the next two months and meet the other criteria, then fine. Otherwise nope.

Just plain member: Book and take a trip in a premium seat on United or United Express by May 10, 2020, spending at least $850 per trip to get 5800 miles.

me - 4 @$500 for 9200 RDM
mrs. iapetus - 4 @$400 for 2500 RDM

I wonder if part of the algorithm relates to how many RDM you've got in the bank and an estimated likelihood of one's wanting more RDM in the short term?

I would love to hear theories as to how it's decided what each offer will be.
It seems so random, but that doesn't make sense.

Wow, 1K $350 for 2,900 miles.. That is a significant mileage differential for 1K members with very similar purchase numbers. Going to ignore the promotion, but if I got ddsyes offer would have taken them up on it. As it is the flights will be half those amounts. 😃

Thank you to DELee and WineCountryUA for the information about the taxes.

4 x $175 trips = 2,500 miles.

I could get more miles complaining to Customer Care about MilePlay...

Because the algorithm United uses to determine these offers said so.
