US Airways Dividend Miles (Pre-FlightFund Merger) - Any experiences with getting mileage on Priceline Tix

I just got a flight from LAX to BOS next week on Priceline and wondered if anyone has had success in getting mileage credited on these flights on US? I know Priceline's policy is to not award miles but I've had much success getting the miles on other airlines.

Airlines are getting more aware of this loophole and are closing it more and more. I think most airlines have already started working on this if they haven't finished already.

I know Delta caught on awhile ago but a few other unnamed airlines gave me the miles with no problems within the last year or two...

Still curious about this if anyone has had experience with PL tickets...

You do not get miles with Priceline tickets. It's that simple.

If the system hiccups and you get miles anyway, fine. If not, you got exactly what you bargained for.

Yeah....I know that. I just wanted some insight from others. There are ways to get them if you handle it right.

If you know how to steal miles on Priceline tickets, why are you asking for others' experiences?

I used the word "steal" because there is a big difference between getting the miles unexpectedly and using certain tactics. I know what you're talking about.

Heck, there are ways to shoplift small amounts and virtually guarantee success, but that doesn't make it right.

Ok....if the airline chooses to give them to us, I don't see that as "stealing".

Not trying to be deishonest but I can see some of your point and will drop the issue.
