United has released another round of targeted Mile Play offers, and in some cases, they’ll be easy to complete. I was targeted for 21,000 bonus miles after taking 3 trips.

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 21,000 bonus miles after taking three “trips” with United by October 7th. A “trip” is defined as a flight that costs more than $175, and one-way flights count.

There are a couple of important things to keep in mind 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 when booking paid flights, so in my case, the fare and carrier-imposed surcharges portion has to be at least $175, not including government-imposed taxes and fees… but your spending threshold might be higher or lower.

The other key thing to note is that qualifying flights must 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 flight was booked before registering for his Mile Play offer, it wasn’t eligible as 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 to earn the bonus miles from the flight.
