Unlimited flight pass question
I might have need to purchase a Transcontinental Flight Pass (3 months) for Sept-Nov.
I have a couple of United flights, as well as 2 advance purchase C fares on AC during that time frame which I would still use, that have already been booked
Will I still earn miles/AQD on those flights, in addition to the 15,000 per month that come with the pass?

This year I've had some M fares on United and they've counted towards AQM/S. Pretty sure no AQD for them, but I don't really follow it anymore.

When you have an UL Flight Pass, you do get all of the AQM/S/D that you are entitled to for a revenue flight you take and book outside of your FP. It is just flights booked inside the flight pass that do not count towards those totals.

That's correct. I have one unlimited pass and two other flight passes plus I fly on UA from time to time and always get what is due--AQD and AQM on all other AC flights and AQM on UA flights (obviously no AQD unless AC codeshare under all the normal strictures that go with the program).

For various reasons, I have often booked a la carte AQM earning flights on the same routes as FPs that are still valid in my wallet. Everything posts separately as they should.

Same routes as valid Unlimited FPs or just n credit FPs?

Split Transactions on Unlimited FP installements?
Hi
There are several unlimited FP threads discussing various aspects of them... some are much older than others so I didn't want to resurrect the older ones... so decided to use this one - mods, please move to the appropriate thread if this is not the correct one.
Question: Can I do spit transactions on unlimited FP installments by calling in? Say, $4,000 on one CC and another $4,000 on another CC, and do this by calling in each month, including the first installment?

Not sure you couldn't--just need to make sure you change the CC on file. They must be able to do this as there are always instances where your CC is no longer valid--date, compromised etc. when a new card would be issued during the length of unlimited flight pass billings. No experience in this regard though.
The feature to use a different credit card on subsequent installments already exists.
