3 trips over $300 for 11,000 miles. That seems to be better than most folks but still nowhere near what I'd want to actually book anything

Yes, assuming the one-way fare meets the minimum fare requirement.

Not Eligible. And for the first time in about 23 years, this is the first month that I have no future tickets booked. You'd think the offer engine would notice that and think it's odd and set me up with something to get me to send some cash to UA.

What airplane seat on UA is worth $1000 (plus taxes and fees) in this time of Covid

Is international going to open up between now and March 31?. Seems like a stretch to me

I have been traveling almost every week for past couple months and got an offer. As usual, the criteria for who gets offers is opaque. Assuming there is rational criteria. LOL

That's one of the better offers I have seen. Congrats.

Yes, this has definitely worked for me in the past.

Also, doing an SDC on the day of travel has also resulted in the ticket being "reissued" and made a ticket that was initially purchased outside of the offer window to become recognized as eligible for the purposes of the offer.

Weel, no luck no luck even via the offer link in the wiki.

On the brightish side, you get to see how well/poorly you've done for the promos (at least from 2020):

Looking back, too bad I was only 1 "trip" away for the promo that ended last January.
