1.88c per point if buying at least 50k. It hasn't been this low for a while. Been waiting!

I see 35% as well. 1.88CPM is good but the A$ is so low

does making a small "token" purchase increase the chance of a higher bonus in future or is this just "luck of the draw"?

No idea - I got 50% off and haven't bought miles with UA previously. In fact, I have very little activity with UA, usually just enough to keep the account ticking along (a survey or flight every 15-18 months usually).

I got the 50% offer. I took the bait.

What's the best way to redeem UA miles? I thought it was no longer possible to redeem on UA for SQ F...

Its not. Sth Asia in J or F is the best value

On TG I presume?

Agree this is a total bargain but North Asia ain't that bad either.

They have the best availability. USM is incredible value given how expensive BKk-USM flights are to buy separately.

I also received the offer for 50% off, but didn't bite.

It's certainly a good offer, but really no better than the "award accelerator" (currently 1.9 cpm) offer you get with a Mileage Plus award booking, and you can purchase considerably less miles at that rate than the 50,000 minimum required for this offer.

What route are you booked on were you can see 1.9CPM? Bought some at that rate a few months ago but think it's since increased on most routes to 2.1 CPM according to FT thread anyway...

It was last week or the week before that everything became 1.9 cpm. They were 2.1 - 2.3 cpm before. I only booked BKK/HKG.
