I can't believe I missed the promotion of the century! I must be the most oblivious person on earth.

But I read about it on FlyerTalk and it turns out it is retroactive so if anybody here is a Mileage Plus member and has flown United at least twice to/from Denver this year, run-don't-walk to http://www.united.com/page/article/0,6722,51504,00.html?jumpLink=%2Fworldofchoice and redeem your big prizes!

I got 24 credits, which I redeemed for 60,000 miles (had a choice between that and a free international round-trip ticket). The miles showed up in my account instantly. This is a FABULOUS promotion.

It's called "Denver, You Mean the World to Us," and it was done in response to SWA's arrival in Denver late last year. In fact, DEN flights on the routes SWA also flies give you TWO credits so I got double credit for my flights to Phoenix. (Double thanks, Kelley, for the tip about FlyerTalk.)

:lol: Those are upgrades! I count four. I'll be glad to spot ya one if you'll ever get on a United plane again!

My 60,000 miles is so puny though, compared to what I read over there. Those guys have been taking advantage of this promotion all year, doing Denver mileage runs and incorporating Denver into their trips, getting the top 32 credits, cashing in for 90,000 miles, and doing it over and over and over again -- they racked up hundreds of thousands of miles through this!

That's why I limit myself to 10 hours a day. :)
