I must be blind can u please send me link --thanks

what stores did u find gift cards count ? other than the 4 i listed--tks

see this one:
https://www.mileageplusshopping.com/retailerdetails.aspx?merchbrandid=6209668505490

Under 'how to earn' you will see 'Rewards not applicable on purchase or redemption of gift cards'.

I don't see restriction on Sears, K-mart and Barnes & Noble. Unfortunately, all my favor stores have restrictions.

I recalled untd because I saw on ur link
"Rewards not applicable on purchase or redemption of gift cards"
so could not trust first rep  who told me all gift cards are ok --- the next rep told me you are registered but will notget credit as only those targeted will --spoke to supervisor told me send copy of invite.....

any thoughts ?

I got the 2 for 1,000 promo :D

Buy $100,000 in GCs to Sams Club in $10 increments.  Get 10,075,000 miles.  Fly to CA and return the GCs (Have fun with that one!) and your only cost is the plane ticket.

Anyone want to build me a Firefox macro for the GC purchases?

Of course then the mileage mall comes back and says that Sams Club GCs don't qualify and you're SOL...
I'm confused on the math.
$100,000 in $10 increments is 10,000 purchases.
If you get 1000 miles for every 2, wouldn't it total 5,000,000?

From what we've seen recently of the mileage mall, don't expect anything without a fight...

should be 5,000,000 + 0.75 * $100,000 = 5,075,000 miles + what you got for credit card spending :)

Yup, calculated 1K per transaction instead of per 2 transactions,
No doubt it would end in a massive fight.

Does that mean gift cards are included and they are just trying to save their behinds now?

Do you still need to be targeted ?

if not targeted and were able to register will you be considered as part of the bonus ?
 I and other were not targeted ,yet could register

told me I was reg. will get 1k for ever 2 purchase ---

i later read some people who received invites were told ,they will not get credit  after they called in,last week  -- rep told me you are registered but will not get credit as only those targeted will( after she checked her computer ) --spoke to supervisor told me same and  famous send copy of invite.....

why I called:
"Even if you can register , be sure to confirm by calling United because it appears that you have to be targeted for the promotion.  Successfully registering for the promotion using the link  doesn’t mean that United considers you registered for the promotion."

now ua  made change to max 25k

my question what do you know?

At the end of the day, will GC purchases qualify?
