Not eligible either. Not surprised though. I haven't received a single email from UA for or about anything since the merger with the exception of the mileage plus shopping portal and I didn't sign up for those emails.

I received one too:

Receive up to 120K bonus miles
Milestone 1: 30K bonus miles after earning $2K PQD
Milestone 2: 40K bonus miles after earning $3K PQD
Milestone 3: 50K bonus miles after earning $4K PQD

Pretty lucrative when you add in the normal miles earned as a 1K (4,000 x 11 = 44,000), so 166,000 miles in total for USD4000 (plus some taxes). That comes to roughly 2.5 cpm.

1K here and not eligible. Shame because I'd easily hit those spend thresholds. Perhaps they take spend rates into account for the targeting.

1k and possibly an Intl. component (home airport? travel patterns?) as well?

so same miles as the poster I quoted but each for 1k PQD less.

Very tempting offer. The less you fly UA the better the offer maybe?
