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 targeted 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 January 31, 2022.
You can try your luck registering for this offer here.
Conclusion
My account was not eligible for this (never has been) because I moved it outside North America a few years ago. These Mile Plays may work for some, while the requirements can be burdensome at times.

How many times have we seen “the account number you entered is not eligible for this offer (because it’s registered outside the US”? Ergo, all non-US accounts are second class as far as United is concerned. And don’t get me started on the non-availability of the Explorer credit card (or any UNited-linked cc) in most locations outside the US.
US based account here, I’m ineligible
Meh. “Book and take a trip 4 times to get 8000 bonus award miles“. Each ticket must cost at least $50, excluding taxes. Not worth the effort…
