United Polaris 767 Experience

It's funny United is telling me about all the cool stuff (lounge and seat) I won't be experiencing. My flight was over 5 hour late, so I switched to Lufthansa and had a lovely experience. 

Dear Andrew,

Your first United Polaris flight:*
Reservation Number: ABC123

AA Holiday Bonus Miles

Not as generous as years past, but an easy 500 miles or 5,000 with minimal effort. The catch is that the offer is limited to 10 specific partners. It's worth registering and buying something via the online mall.
