Triple preferred qualifying miles
Did anyone else receive this offer this morning? I saw it just as I was leaving home this morning to meet with friends. I got back and figured that I would see a bunch of posts on this, but I don't see anything. This must be "targeted". It almost seems too good to be true. 
I figured that we wouldn't see any kind of decent promotions for quite some time.

The OP has >300 posts, so I believe it. If the OP had 1 post, I would think it is a hoax.

I think I got a little more insight after posting this. I have been Chairmans or Platinum for the last five years. For a variety of reasons, some related to the merger, I have scaled back my flying quite a bit this year. Also included in the email was a survey, which I opened and took after posting this. It was all about figuring out why I was flying less and if I had any feedback for them. I have heard of targeted promos before, but this seems highly targeted.
Regardless, it will likely work, as I jumped on the internet and researched flights to the SIN DO in January. I found a flight for $1,050 that I think will net me 44K PQM, if I am reading the T&C's correctly. One leg is Japan Air, but the other two are marketed and operated by US and AA. Just to be sure this is for real, I wrote the Platinum desk last night and expect to hear back by tomorrow.
I am now going to try to get nearly 30K PQM's in 2014 as well. I found a cheap flight to Quito, a city I have wanted to visit for a while, but it's not enough to put me over the top.

I also received this targeted email. Similar pattern - Chairmans for a few years, then Gold, then probably wasn't even going to make Silver this year. But, just booked a flight that will get me there with the triple miles offer.

Triple preferred qualifying miles
I received this offer...most likely due to my job change, where I no longer travel for work. Went from > 75k miles in 2013 to < 25k this year. Also was invited to complete a survey for 250 bonus miles.

They aren't going to give it to anyone that has probably already made status, so that is most people on this board.

I am in nearly the same boat, but have not received the offer. Hoping maybe it's a phased email.

US did a similar thing last year - giving out a few of these promos to travellers who haven't flown much. I wish they'd take a look at the 80/20 rule and throw us a bone.

I have been Gold or Platinum for about 10 straight years -- but this year I've flown ZERO paid flights due to a number of factors. I hope I'm targeted for this promo....

They ran one similar back in September as well, here's what a colleague had in email
I wrote to Customer Service and seems they are pretty strict on whether you were targeted for the offer. Well, no lack of effort for trying.
Why don't you give your loyal fellas some love, US?

Because if you are loyal they don't need to give you reason to fly more.
