Points have not posted after 10 days

It has been over 10 days since my IAH-MKE flight and still have not received points. In the past they were posted within 24 hours. Anyone else having this problem?

Missing miles from Air Canada codeshare

I booked on United.com with UA flight numbers, the two legs were in T and K class.

No mileage was awarded, but I just flew a couple days ago.

Is this a code share issue, or do the partner legs take longer to post?

Sorry, former AA Concierge Key, now UA gold, still learning how this airline works.

It can take a few days for partner-operated flights to post. If you don't see the mileage in a week or so, it's worth further investigation.

In Star Alliance, only the operating carrier matters, so UA-coded, AC-flown segments will accrue as AC.

I flew AC last about 3 weeks ago, and it took 3 or maybe 4 days for the mileage to post. Even if it was ‘supposed’ to post faster, I don’t think you can file a missing mileage request for at least 5 days, so really, nothing you can do at this point anyway.

Help w/ LOT tix number

Realized I am missing flight credit from a LOT Airways flight from past summer but the LOT tix number is 12 digits (excluding "-")

sample: 080-xxxx...

United is looking for a 13 digit ticket number. I do see the the UA ffn on the booking but no miles credit from LOT. Any thoughts what be going on here and how do I credit the miles to UA?

Probably easiest solution is to call / email MileagePlus Service Center

Missing Miles and PQP on Codeshare Flight

Recently flew TPA-EWR-FCO and ATH-FRA-TPA in business class, all miles are showing up in my account except for the FRA-TPA flight. This flight was LH 4400 operated by Eurowings, ticket issued by UA 016 ticket stock and now that it's been over a week 8 tried to fill out the online form and it tells me the flight/segment has already been given for whole ticket. Not sure if I'm missing something and I'm not due miles, or if there is a glitch. What recourse do I have, couldn't find anything online but I'm guessing I can call and talk to a live person? Any suggestions

try the native flight number; LH4400 is the codeshare flight number that was on your ticket, but *A credits based on operating carriers. That flight is 4Y 64.

If it doesn't come through under Eurowings Discover then Email [email protected] and they should be able to manually credit it.

Thanks for the reply, it won't let me get past the screen where I imput the ticket number, so I'll try the e-mail.

UA WEBWITE CLAIMS MISSING MILES WERE CREDITED (THEY WERE NOT) AND WON'T LET ME SUBMIT ONLINE REWUEST FOR MISSING MILEAGE CREDIT

Flew Austrian (OS) on a UA ticket 9 days ago and flights did not post. I wrote 1kvoice (which has helped in past instances of miles not posting) and they told me I would need to submit it via the United website for missing flight credit. I went to that site (which has apparently changed and now only asks to submit ticket number), entered my ticket number and got a message that 'the miles have already posted,' so it would not let me go any further.

This was actually the return two legs of a 4 leg itinerary (all 4 legs operated by OS on a UA ticket), and the first two legs posted normally when I flew them two months ago. For the final two legs 9 daysflown ago nothing posted.

Has anyone else had this problem and do you have advice what to do (e.g., write again to 1kvoice with screenshots documenting website will not accept ticket number and my account does not show the miles it says were credited, call MileagePlus support by telephone)?

Just curious whether you resolved this. I have the same problem with missing credit from an Austrian flight flown 9 days ago on a UA ticket. When I submit the ticket number for mileage credit, I am told it's already been credited (when it hasn't). Did you maybe call MikeagePlus support to get it resolved? Sounds like I am not alone with this problem.

For anything having to do with mileage credit when automated tools fail calling MPSC is the shortest distance between two points, IME. 1KV just acts as a middleman in these cases; sometimes it works frequently it doesn't.

Thanks for the suggestion. Given the time difference it was easier for me to email MPSC. I am happy to report they posted the correct credit for both flights within a few hours and let me know by email.

I had two similar incidents lately. One was a LH ticket with 2 LH and OS segments. One of the LH segments posted, the other 3 did not. The claim form said "already credited" (hey, at least 1/4 true in this case ), and a follow up with the customer service form got the other three credited quickly.

The other one was an Air Dolimiti ticket with a single Air Dolomiti segment. Same things with the claim form, and customer service then replied to me it already was credited, pointed to a completely different flight for the same city pair a few weeks earlier that was on a UA ticket. I replied back to them by email with all the details, but haven't gotten an answer back yet.
