United In 2018, launched a promo called Mile Play, trying to get MileagePlus members to spend and fly more (they have previously had these under different names). They refresh these offers every few months and have launched a new one for July.
The Mile Play promotion is tailored to each select member based on their recent activity with United. For example, it may require buying business class tickets or flying a certain number of trips through September 30, 2021.

Conclusion
My account was not eligible for this (never has been) because I moved it outside of North America a few years ago. These Mile Plays may work for some, while the bonus miles’ requirements can be demanding at times.

I got “take 3 trips at $300 or more (by Sept 30)- and get 5000 bonus miles”. I guess it’s slightly better than a kick in the teeth…
I got this offer: “Book and take a flight to or from San Francisco (SFO) 1 time to earn 7,900 miles.”
