I got 4 flights to/from SFO at at least $175 min to qualify for 2500 miles. What a joke.
I could certainly do it - I fly SFO-SEA-SFO lots and lots - but 2500 useless miles (basically worth less than $25 to me) is not worth even thinking about.
If United wants to get me out of seat 10A or 10B, or 16E on the A220 on Delta (or I often get upgraded to F) it will take a lot more...

My offer as a 1K was 5 trips @ $275 for 18,000 miles. Unfortunately, I have already booked 4 itineraries (each over $275) for this travel period, so they won't count in the promotion, since only itineraries booked after registration count. There's no way I will have an additional 5 itineraries on top of the 4 I've already booked, so I won't be able to benefit from this promotion.

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.

The funny thing is, I'm just about to start booking 6+ trips. Perhaps UA is smart enough to know that.

2 x $275 trips for 2500 miles
Pretty pathetic. Given the impact coronavirus is having now and for the foreseeable future, United is going to have to come up with some stronger incentives if they want to keep the flights that haven't been cancelled full.
