RE: The 6,000-10,000 Mileage Plus shopping bonus.
If you read the targeted email *carefully* it says that the targeted bonus offer is a PREVIEW— allowing special access 2 days early.
Thus for those that did not receive the email, the offer *DOES NOT* start for the general public until Sunday, November 8, 2015.
Hence the 2 day special PREVIEW.
So if you haven’t received the offer [I did, but my wife was not targeted] any purchases you’ve made will not count as part of the offer.
I would be sure to update your post to not confuse readers of your blog.

The 10,000 United miles you reference is really a 6,000 mile promotion for spending through the shopping portal. The hypothetical extra 4,000 miles is something available all the time. It is another example of the “click bait” headline grabber bloggers put out to boost site visits. This type of blog promotion is ridiculous and does little to serve the readers (only the bloggers).
