Hat tip to FM
FWIW, my experience … I checked out of a Country Inn & Suites on June 11 for a total of $207.54 after taxes & fees. I waited about a week and had nothing, so I sent a contact request through the app. They responded by email to say to wait 6 weeks for credit. I still had nothing at ~8 weeks so I sent another message. After 11 days they responded to say they were backlogged with emails and give them a little more time. And now 11 more days later, they credited my account 7783 miles on Aug 26 which is a bit over 37x for my total bill. I am not going to complain that they gave me a few extra miles.
Also, when I check MPX today the offer is gone, so I assume it is only good on the first purchase in the time period. So if you are going to stay at more than one Radisson in the period, make sure to save your MPX card spend for the highest total.
I did this offer when it was 25 miles and NEVER got credited. Sent multiple emails and they continued to fight that my stay did not qualify. I clicked on link in the United Visa Rewards section and booked the one night stay. When I asked why does it not qualify no one ever justified or explained. Will never do again or stay at the Radisson. There were nicer hotels to stay at but wanted to take advantage of the offer and unfortunately they did not honor.
Any update on if you got credited? I’m thinking of doing this but your story makes me rethink things
I’m in a similar situation and am curious to know if anyone actually got this credited? We have been calling and writing in to MileagePlus since 60 days after our our July 4th stay and keep getting the run around – having to keep sending in the offer screen cap and the hotel receipt. They kept saying they didn’t get our info. I’ve had several agents say they see what we sent, and United recognized the stay as a hotel so we got the extra mile or two on the initial statement. Now, we were told that it was fixed – they added 37 miles to our account. We keep having to call in every two weeks or when they write us to tell us they’ve closed the case. The last agent said that we should have 13,000 points – based on the price per night, not the total spent including tax.. we based our decision on what hotel to stay at because of this offer – because getting over 12000 miles (a domestic one way flight) was a pretty good deal – but not if they never actually give us the miles promised. They keep passing the buck!
Targeted
This is under the “United Visa Rewards” section of the app which you’ll only see if you have one of the co-brand cards. This is NOT in the gift card section.
I am an android user and don’t see it either!
I don’t see it in the app anymore. Is this dead?
I still see it.
I see it in the iOS app, maybe targeted?
I’m in the android app.
