Oops...did not work for me
"This promotion is not available or an error has occurred. Please try again later or contact Mileage Plus Customer Service for assistance locating this promotion."
And on my Promotions page: "At this time we do not have any promotions available for you. "
Disappointed because I fly from my home airport this week and would like to pick up a few extra miles on top of the 25K+ I am flying this month

No love for me either
Nothing on the promotions page and I got an error when I tried to direct register. Oh well no bonus for my flight on Sunday then.

. Perhaps United finally "got it right" 
where it won't let you register for a targeted promotion as opposed to in the past where you could register for anything whether you were targeted or not 
.
, it wouldn't surprise me if it does come to that and they "let the cat out of the bag by mistake"

My wife got it and does not work for me
She has hardly flown in a year. I think they need people back because recently I'll swear that traffic is down. Signs of a double miles offer coming up - we all hope?? As for the measley 1000 miles bonus. Reminds me of that old joke. What do you take us for United? United - we've established that Mr/s FF, we are now just haggling about the price....

Bonus is valid on CO roundtrips but I would rather use my CO number (now matched to Platinum) for those. Is there a parallel bonus for CO accounts?
I suppose I could switch every segment to my UA number at the gate but that sounds like too much trouble for 1,000 bonus miles.

I don't think this was asked yet, sorry if it was, but if I fly a split itinerary will it count? I have UA metal LAX-IAD-RIC and then CO metal RIC-EWR-LAX next weekend.

Did these just start posting for anyone else? I have a bunch of extra miles that just posted and I'm trying to figure out what they are... and I'm must now noticing all of these bonus postings for the past few months. They are dated along with the original itineraries, so it's hard to say when they posted. I know they weren't there a couple days ago...

I suspect if anyone had an itin with a total of 5 segments the amount would be 200 mi for each segment.
