Newest-first by default, because “is it still working?” matters most.

One trip $300+, 7,700 miles for me; 11,200 miles for P2

S7
S700#2378911

3 trips that exceed $100 – 6,900 miles

Would a leg with two connections count as 1 or 3 trips?

RO
Roger#2378888

3 Trips, $100 min fare per trip, 5600 miles.

So I ended up reaching out to United why my flight didn’t meet Mile Play requirements last time. Wonder if it isn’t news to anyone else, but flights paid for with a prior Travel Credit are ineligible. Wonder if this means Travel Bank also won’t work because the agent said I’d be eligible if I booked my flight with a card.

Cry me a river. Going sound preachy here but if you want to help DoC, share your United status, YTD accruals, activity, etc. rather than just complain

I wasn’t targeted a few weeks ago but was targeted now. Book and take a trip 4 times to win 20,000 miles. Each trip must be at least $200. I might be able to pull this off because a trip can be a one way flight.

AC#2378705

Book and take a trip* in a premium seat 1 time to earn 10,000 bonus miles. Must spend $400 on each trip* to qualify.

JE

Same. I have a United flight booked for mid Sep at $170 but it is now $340, so cancel rebook is a no go. Maybe something else will come up.

AL
Alex#2378660

Book and take a trip* 1 time to earn 3,000 bonus miles ($100+)

where did you find it? App ? If so, do you need to explicitly activated the offer or is the offer registered automatically once you visit that page in the app?
