Wow!
I LOVE this!
So there is double miles until March 10th.
Double miles for flying on Tuesday or Wednesday to Asia.
And double miles if you fly a certain number of round trips!
That means, if I fly to Asia on a Tuesday before the 10th of March, I would receive:
10'000 base miles
10'000 1K bonus miles
10'000 Tuesday bonus miles
10'000 from this double miles promotion
10'000 from the 'complete ? r/t and receive double miles' promo
------
50'000 miles for one way!!!!
This is almost as good as the early bird!! :-: :-: :-: ^ ^ ^
Edited to add:
The route that I am proposing is NYC-NRT-SIN.
Now, if you were like myn4 you would probably go JFK-SFO-HNL-NRT-SIN

From Charleston, where I live, traveling to BKK I could get
22,056 Base miles
22,056 1K Bonus
22,056 Tue/Wed Asia Travel
22,056 "Q" fare and above (targeted)
22,056 New Double Bonus Mile offer
5,000 Tokyo Travel Bonus
1,000 Booking bonus
There also is a Nagoya offer, but it starts after this promotion ends.
Now mind you, I would have to book "Q" to get this, but this would be 116,280 miles.
What really bites is I already have flights booked, and I don't want to re-book just to get this offer. I already am getting 72K miles.

United Vacations?
I have an active UA itinerary, SFO-PVR (on Ted) that I booked as part of a United Vacations package deal within the date range of this promotion. Is the airline portion of that package considered an E-ticket? Would I be eligible for the double mileage? Thanks in advance... Michael.

Since you said you booked it already, it does not qualify

Me neither. No mention whatever of 'on-line bookings only' that I can see.
They would hardly mention phone and airport booking fees it it were. Simply says it needs to be an e-ticket, and seeing it needs to be wholly on UA metal, will be e-ticket anyway in 99.9% of cases.
Tickets purchased through United reservation offices are $5 per ticket higher and tickets purchased at airport ticket counters are $10 per ticket higher.
E-ticket purchase required.
Valid only on flights operated by United and not valid on United marketed code share flights operated by other carriers.

wow. I had nothing scheduled between now and my next IAD-KUL RT in late march. This will have the exact effect they want.

UX flights allowed? I don't see the usual, United, Ted or United Express.
Also, note it is RT. IAD - SFO - NRT - LAX - IAD will NOT count.
A roundtrip is defined as travel from an origin city to a destination city with return travel beginning in the out bound destination city back to the first ogirin city with all segments on United. Open jaws and circle trips not allowed.

The transpac Tues/Weds double miles offer is not combinable with other offers.
Here is the fine text for the promo:
" Offer valid on all paid, published fares. Valid only on transpacific flight segments between Asia and the U.S. Only flight segments that originate on Tuesday or Wednesday will earn the bonus. Offer not valid if the itinerary includes flights to/from Hawaii. Offer valid for recipients of this e-mail only. "
But, if you have a mileage+ Visa, you can get double miles as well. http://www.united.com/page/article/0,6722,51067,00.html
Can anyone give me the link to the Q fare+ promo? Also, what is the link to the round trip double miles promo? I'm thinking of a few mileage run trips to SIN now..
