New United Mile Play Offers: See If You’re Targeted For Bonus Miles

United has released another round of targeted Mile Play offers and, in at least some cases, they’ll be easy challenges to complete. I was targeted for 3,000 bonus miles after taking 1 trip.

Quick Thoughts

Mile Play offers vary from person to person – if you’re even targeted – so there’s not one single offer that’s applicable to everyone. It seems like, more and more, they send out offers in waves as opposed to all at once. My offer gives 3,000 bonus miles when taking one trip with United by October 7th. A “trip” is defined as a flight that costs more than $100, and one-way flights count.

There are a couple of important things to be aware of when it comes to United Mile Play offers. The first is that the spending threshold for the flight(s) you need to take relates to the fare itself. There are various taxes and fees added on when booking paid flights, so in my case, the fare and carrier-imposed surcharges portion has to be at least $100, without counting government-imposed taxes and fees…but your spending threshold might be higher or lower.

The other key thing to be aware of is that qualifying flights have to be booked after you’ve registered for the promotion. Nick once booked a United flight just a couple of days before being targeted for MilePlay. However, because that was booked before registering for his Mile Play offer, it wasn’t eligible to be a qualifying flight to complete the offer requirements. Thankfully, that was easy to remedy; the price hadn’t changed, so he was able to cancel and rebook it in order to earn the bonus miles from the flight.
