My offer: 3 trips @ >$275 for 5K miles. Doubt it will happen since most of my trips are already booked. Little incentive anyway.

"Book and take a trip in a premium seat* 3 times to get 6,000 bonus award miles."

*Each purchased fare must be a minimum of $50 to qualify

What a joke!

Also, if someone can find premium seat even remotely close to $50, I will personally transfer you 6,000 miles.

4 trips in a Premium seat, at least $600 each, for 19,000 miles.

If i hit it, fine. But as always, nothing I am going to go out of my way to strive for.

While I agree not a ton of incentive (my offer is the exact same)...If there fare is the same or less, canceling and rebooking triggers a new purchase date.

I'd be doing it now myself, but my $500 purchases are now $700 and my $600 purchase is close to A GRAND. (See the 'insane summer fares' thread--quite apropos).

Book 4 trips > $150 for 6,700 miles. Not going to happen as all my trips through Sept are already booked.

Book and take 3 trips for 5k miles.

Could happen depending on work, but certainly not motivating me to do anything different

5 trips, 8k miles!

Not stretching for that, even if I book two one ways.

Actually, I'd have taken the COMPLETE opposite approach that you are. That $50 minimum is a GIFT! I've had previous MilePlays for "Take 3 trips in a premium seat*" Whereas " * " later said "Minimum fare of $500 applies". I'd certainly rather have a minimum purchase lower than higher...I don't think this is as much as finding a premium seat for $50, as them saying there's basically no minimum for you. It's not like they're saying it's a maximum of $50.

I think my offer wins as worst? 5 trips of at least $275/each, for only 5,000 miles. Far more insulting than just not giving me an offer.

I think I'm winning this offer (so far) in terms of number of miles available.

Book FOUR premium seat tickets to get 99,000 bonus miles. That's not a typo. Minimum cost $900. I will not be hitting this requirement at all.

Two trips, minimum $200 fare, 2500 miles. The excitement is just uncontainable.
