Both times it accepted and acknowledged the Mileage Plus deal so we'll see what happens. I'll follow up if and when anything posts to either account or if I'm just out $8 extra for nothing as my punishment for being greedy. The $7.99 charges show pending on both cc's.
Anxiously awaiting your result!

I signed up for Netflix using my Continental Pass number and was successful as being noted a lst timer from Netflix. Folks have been reporting a transfer of 4 k miles within a week. It has been 4 days for me now. U think there will be problems with Netflix miles being deposited in my account?

I would just be patient. My deposit took a full week, others have seen shorter or longer wait times. Presume as well that CO may have some additional delays as my CO acct has not been updating as timely as the UA acct did. Now with the integration, my thoughts are there will be some additional delays and some promos will simply be lost forever and all the attempts with the pathetic UA/CO reps will still not recover everything. Worst case, you are out $8

$8.55 to be exact... my first month's fee just posted. We'll see how long / if my miles post. I did this last time around they did the promo, but signed up with my CO FF# this time around and a different CC.

Posted today

02/29/2012 NETFLIX EXTRA MILE PROMO 4,000
02/29/2012 NETFLIX EXTRA MILE PROMO 2,000



I'm kind of thinking maybe the 2K from Netflix posted on the second entry but the extra 2k for the United card must come from United since how could Netflix even know if I had a United Card or not. And maybe United wouldn't be double dipped on their portion. Or else maybe it was because I used a pre-converted CO card on the second order.

Should I complain I only got 2k Think I'll leave well enough alone and enjoy my 6K

LEAVE.
IT.
ALONE.

Double dip was technically against terms.
Be happy with what you got!

Opened Netflix on February 29th using Continental Pass Account Number and United Explorer Card. 4000 miles showed up on my United Account.


Don't forget to cancel before the month is up. I still have another Netflix account open due to playing the U.S. Grand Slam. Will be off the hook May 14th
