While I didn't have an offer, my +1 MM companion did have an offer and would never know about it without me doing the enrollment, so there's that.
Fly 2 trips worth at least $100 each and get 2500 bonus miles. So basically two one ways should do the trick.

3 trips of at least $100 by March 31 for 5,000 miles. Not a bad deal.

Three trips of $200 each for 5,000 points. That is a ridiculously low bonus for a $600+ spend. My last offer was 3x$150 for 3,700 bonus points.

Wish I'd been offered the 3 Premium for 18-24k miles. I'm trying to engineer three expensive trips that maximize the PQP bonus before March 31, without exposing me to very much air time -- e.g. Denver-Aspen in First. I can secure 1K for a little under $7k, which will matter a lot for 2022 travel.

Will Booking With “Future Flight Credit” from Last Year Count?

Has anyone booked a flight using a “Future Flight Credit” from tickets from last year and had it count for these promotions? I am uncertain because these credits have existing record locators that were created before the start of the MilePlay promotion. I skipped using an existing Future Flight Credit last year because I was worried it wouldn’t count under the last promotion, but I want to use these credits before they expire!
Thanks!

I got 3 premium trips ($450+) for 33,000 miles. One thing that confused me though... In the T&C, it says that all travel for the trip must be in a premium cabin. I live in a small regional city with no premium seats on my way to the nearest hub. That means at least two segments of every round trip I take are in economy. Does my not being in a major market effectively disqualify me from the promotion (assuming I'm not willing to take positioning flights)?

Edit: I called the MileagePlus desk today and they confirmed that my understanding was correct. A premium class itinerary that includes even one segment on a regional jet that doesn't have a premium cabin is disqualified from counting as a premium class trip for the purposes of the promotion. While they empathized with my disappointment, no assistance, alternatives, or compensation were offered (for reference, I'm Platinum).

Update to the edit: I contacted customer care regarding the issue. They promptly emailed, apologized for the trouble, and noted that I would not be disqualified on the basis on my regional economy flights. It was unclear if this was an individual exception or a liberalizing of the T&C of the promotion. Kudos to United Customer Care for the excellent resolution.

MilePlay Q1 2021

Anyone else get a new MilePlay offer?

I got one requiring 3 new bookings. It says "Only transactions initiated after registration" will qualify. Any idea if I use travel credits from cancelled flights (i.e. original ticketing date prior to this MilePlay offer) if that will count?

Just retried the promo link (https://promotions.united.com/offers/mileplay): still no UA love.

Anyone hit the flights/spends that UA offered?

Nope. I need 3 flights. At most I might have 2 flights at most by 3/31. At least I've taken advantage of the double PQP.

Miles Posting

What has everyone's actual experience been with how long the miles take to post after completing the requirements?

The posted (in the wiki) T&Cs seem to suggest it is a bit early
Bonus miles will post to your MileagePlus account six to eight weeks after the promotion ends on March 31, 2021.
Is that consistent with the T&Cs for your offer?

Yes the 6- 8 weeks from March 31st is consistent with my offer but I was wondering if there were any DP's of miles posting early.
