Welcome to FlyerTalk lart5!

In my experience, my cheap United tickets have always earned miles unless the terms and conditions of the fare explicitly said I wouldn't.

It would be helpful to know what fare class your ticket is booked in.

Also, this is actually not the right thread for your post - this question would be more appropriate in the United Airlines forum as it pertains to them.

As wanaflyforless stated above, this would be much better suited in the United Forum (http://www.flyertalk.com/forumcgi/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&forum=United&number=50&DaysPrune=5&LastLogin=). I'm going to move it there now.
