Not sure if this is the right forum. I have never posted here before, so if this is wrong please forgive me.

But it seems like a very easy way for 10k miles.
I will post the details, but all it seems is you need to make 5 purchases on your Chase United card through the mileage app.
You can make 5 separate $5 Walmart gift card purchases.

Boost your mileage balance easily and conveniently when you shop with your enrolled UnitedSM Chase Visa® Card. Use the United® MileagePlus X app to view United Visa Rewards offers from your favorite brands and earn up to 10,000 miles to use toward your next vacation.

Offer valid until August 31, 2020.

*To be eligible for this bonus offer, you must be a United Chase Visa Cardmember during the promotion period August 1, 2020 to August 31, 2020. Delays by the merchant, such as shipping, could extend the transaction date beyond the offer period. You will qualify for and receive bonus miles if you are enrolled in the United Visa Rewards program via the MileagePlus X app and complete at least one offer. To complete an offer, you must first view the offer in the MileagePlus X app and then make a purchase with your linked credit card per the terms of the offer. Offers can be viewed in the MileagePlus X app after enrollment. Purchases posted to your account with a transaction date between August 1, 2020 and August 31, 2020 are eligible for this offer. Please allow 6–8 weeks after the United Visa Rewards holiday promotion ends on August 31, 2020 for bonus miles to post to your MileagePlus account. Bonus Miles will post directly to your MileagePlus account and will not appear on your credit card statement. ("Purchases" do not include balance transfers, cash advances, travelers checks, foreign currency, money orders, wire transfers or similar cash-like transactions, lottery tickets, casino gaming chips, race track wagers or similar betting transactions, any checks that access your account, interest, unauthorized or fraudulent charges, or fees of any kind, including an annual fee, if applicable.) To qualify for this bonus offer, account must be open and not in default at the time of fulfillment. Credit card product changes during the promotional period will forfeit this bonus offer. This promotional offer is nontransferable and applies only to the account in receipt of this email. Offers vary user to user.

I'm usually not targeted for UA offers, but am targeted for this one. Easy 10K+.

Isn't this only for Visa Offers in the MileageX app? Not the regular purchase GCs to pay for a purchase? I bought 5*$5 Walmart GCs anyways to try, since I need them, but am I reading the T&C's wrong?

correct, visa offers. Easy to meet though since there is no specified minimum spend for each offer. $10 gift card purchase should trigger the bonus (Barnes & Noble for example) or the Costco offer (that stacks with Dosh $20 back if you register your card with them)

So 5*$5 Walmart should not work then...

Walmart wasn't in my offers. Even if you do have it (in your Visa offer section, not gc section) it will disappear after first use. You need to complete 5 separate offers (5 different merchants).

I purchased a cheap umbrella from HSN ($4 plus $3.50 ship), a $10 Barnes and Noble GC, a Costco membership (stacked with Dosh) because I was going to purchase on anyway, a small Sears purchase and still deciding about the last one.
Just beware, the offers have to load in your account prior to you purchasing for it to be considered added to your account to ensure proper tracking.

Think a $1 donation to st. Judes works? https://www.hsn.com/products/hsn-cares-st-jude-1-donation/6884296

Do you have to click through the app? Or as long as you use the registered card and added the offer prior it will track?

Clever, assuming it gets charged at HSN and not at St. Judes directly.

Nope. Offer has to be loaded in your account and your MP visa must be attached in your account. (In fact, because you don't need to click through from MPX, you can click through via a portal and earn additional miles/points on top of your MPX base offer + bonus offer.

I got a confirmation message from the app that I redeemed the offer, so I assume it will work.

Frugal! keep us posted please, especially on the items you don't plan on picking up. Did you get the instant app notification/alert upon any of these purchases?

Will do.

Just HSN shows as 'Redeemed', anyone else see other offers already 'redeemed'?

sometimes takes a day+. Costco for me showed instantly redeemed, others took a bit longer, despite getting immediate acknowledgement via app notification.
