UA: Ewr-nrt-sin sin-nrt-ewr 20120 pqm $750

Just booked this last week for travel on Nov 7-9. 6 hours in Singapore before coming back. Painful but tough to beat the miles for the dollars. Originally i would do multiple round trips to LA or SFO, this just gets the pain out of the way in 1 shot

Cheaper yes.. I believe this is a U fare, earning 50% PQM.

That paired with actually flying CA long haul? Scary Poppins for me.

UA: Ewr-nrt-sin sin-nrt-ewr 20120 pqm $750

I'm also doing this trip but on October 30 and also got a great deal. I did it same weekend last year. I never left the airport choosing to sleep in the lounge in Singapore given time of arrival but this time I'll have a little over 4 hrs each time in Tokyo and thinking of heading to the city of Narita. There isn't enough time to make it to Tokyo. Anyone else going last weekend of October?

I did this MR 3 years ago. I stayed at the Transit Hotel inside of security which has a 6 hour rate and a pool. It was closed 11pm-6am so I couldn't swim. There was also some sort of butterfly garden airside, Changi is often ranked among the best airports in the world, enjoy it and sleep on the flight back!!

Please keep us posted for your PQM earning.

I recently made a reservation for a one day round trip IAD -> SFO -> LAS -> SFO -> IAD, and found at UA website that only outbound legs would earn PQM. Then I canceled the reservation, and replaced with 2 one way reservations. Then UA website shows all legs will earn PQM. So, I really would like to know you will get PQM for all your legs. Thanks!

I don't know why, I just saw that.

Login at UA website with MileagePlus account, View Existing Reservation. In Traveler section, there is MileagePlus earnings section for each traveler. View MileagePlus earning information, I saw something like following:

Code:

                     PQM  PQS      
IAD - SFO          2,419    1	
SFO - LAS            500    1

LAS - SFO  Not Qualified    0	
SFO - IAD  Not Qualified    0

Total:            2,919     2

This is for existing premier gold member. The ticket is N class. Anyone know why the returning legs are not qualified for PQM?

However, when I viewed the reservation under 'view receipt', it showed this:

11/9/2015 78 Tokyo, Japan (NRT - Narita)-Newark, NJ (EWR - Liberty) 1169 6732 1 167
Award Miles PQM PQS PQD

I called the premier desk to verify that both the outbound and inbound legs qualified for PQM, and they said they did. I took a screenshot just to cover my bases.

To cover my bases, took all screenshots along with copying the receipt page and noting reps I talked to. After taking the flight all the proper Pqm, pqs, and award miles were posted

But on the Receipt Page, I see this

Award Miles PQM PQS PQD

It seems we can not trust their website, better to call them
