The Offer
- United is offering bonus miles under their Mile Play promotion when you complete certain requirements before October 31st, 2018. Everybody receives a different offer based on their flying history. Some sample offers:
- Book and take three trips by October 31st, 2018 and get 4,000 bonus miles
The Fine Print
- Flights must be completed by October 31st, 2018
Our Verdict
They have offered a similar promotion in the past (and more recently here), I guess this will be semi recurring. Might make sense to only ‘view offer’ when you know you have flights coming up in the hopes of getting targeted when you’ll actually be able to complete any offers you receive. Generally they structure the deals so it will require more flights than you’d normally complete within that time frame. It’s also important to remember you need to register and only flights booked after registering actually count.
Hat tip to Angelina Travels
I suggest people mention their United flying record when posting their results. It could have something to do with what you get, I would bet.
I haven’t flown United paid in many years (and not even award flights for a few years), but have been United Premium Silver through Marriott Rewards for the past few years.
I got 8800 bonus miles for 1 trip $225+ by Oct 31. Not sure if I’ll have a trip to take during that time, though.
Two trips, $175 minimum fare for 14,000 miles. Tempted to try. Will 2 one ways count?
After some searching and reading of the fine print, it’s very important to note that the FARE minimum strictly means the fare only. No taxes or fees.
my account was not eligible 🙁
Book and take a trip 1 time by October 31, 2018 to get 12,000 bonus award miles. Book and take a trip on United or United Express® by October 31, 2018, spending at least $300 per trip.

What a joke!
My offer is 90,000 miles for two trips, each in a premium cabin, with a minimum spend of $2000 per trip. So effectively $4000 for 90k miles on United metal.
But I have zero trips coming up for work or personal. Everything is planned around Dec/Jan.
4x trips each $350+ to get 29,000….
Received 1 trip for 12k miles..hmmm..I wonder what’s happening in denver next month?
