Registering a shopping site in Mileage Plus five minutes after the purchase
I was using two computers and purchased a GoPro.. and I went to the second one that had the MileagePlus shopping in my Chrome extension and I quickly registered it.
So I bought it and registered the website five minutes later.. will I get the 2x bonus?

In order to get the bonus, you'd need to be logged into MileagePlus Shopping at the time of the purchase. Registering afterwards won't do you any good. Cartera, rhe company that's running MileagePlus Shopping, only gets notified about purchases that are made when you're logged in. (Those are also the only purchases they get paid for: the retailers pay a referral fee to Cartera, and then Cartera buys miles from United to put into your account).
