Our Verdict
Keep in mind the bonus expires after 120 days from bonus deposit date. This is an easy skip for me, but it does code as United purchase so might be an interesting option for some people. Similar deal was available earlier in the year as well.
Hat tip to FM
The bonus dollars received from this promotion were set to expire at the end of February. I expected the bonus to be deducted from my balance, but it seems as United extended expiration to July 2021. Does anyone else see the same?
DP: Worked for Amex Hilton Aspire airline incidental credit December 28, 2020.
Does it work with Bofa Platinum Airline Credit?
Reload works for penfed pathfinder credit. Loaded 12/6/20, credit 12/8/20
Any success with this using wells fargo propel world incidental credit?
Answering my own question. The credit did work for this on the Propel.
Anyone able to split payment? (ie $200 on one card, $50 on another to get the $25 bonus)?
will this also work for BOA premium card and Citi expedia Card $100 incidental credit? Thanks!
It worked for me.

The bonus was posted immediately. When United run a similar promotion in Aug 2020, bonus posted 3 months after the initial TravelBank load
The agent told me she did 10 requests for airline selection change to United today. She is wondering what happening. Hope RAT doesn’t get attracted
