I just got rebooked in Y but F is Empty so no light in the end of the tunnel. My flight was canceled and I will most likely miss my connection as I have 8 mins in EWR to connect. I am going to ask the agent to put a note in my report when I check in.
SO Is the 50 Percent rebook an auto credit for miles and segments or do you have to play the phone tag game with UA?

Thanks for the info.
My first of three flights that got booked in Y posted to my account with no additional eqm or eqs. I will wait for all three to post and than hit up the UA phone lines to request credits if necessary. I always wonder if it makes a difference what level of Elite Status you have.

Additionally it will take up to a couple of days for the bonus to post.

It used to be like that, especially when I was flying US under my UA number. However, this year I VDBed and neither of my new flights were rebooked in Y. Wish they were, I might have picked up an UDU I just missed.

I finally got my first Y rebooking last weekend. Of course, it was only 500-mile minimum segment...

1/2 segment?
I logged into my account tonight, and since March 22nd, I have 20.5 segments.
I'm curious to know...how do I have a half of a segment? I think it'd be a little bit difficult to just walk out of the plane mid-flight.... *rolls eyes*
Also, I'm still a little bitter about the lack of a challenge program, but, that's another story for another day.

If you got rebooked due to IRROPS, or had a full fare F or Y ticket you get an extra half segment.

Ahh.
I was VDB'ed because of weight restriction (company pays for my RCC membership, so I just spent 3 more hours in the RCC). That's where this must have came from.
Thanks for the info!

It has happened several times to me when I get on an earlier flight and gate agent switches fare code to Y - it is a nice to be lucky sometimes

I know why I have .5 Segments, but was curious if someone knows if they round up? I am sitting at 59.5 segments, so for obvious reasons, I hope they round up to 60. Does anyone know?

I would try to get something in writing.... Perhaps via the Mileage Plus Elite fax line?

I'm currently at 28.5 EQS with two more segments booked. I have the .5 from a glitch back in February when an upgraded flight rebooked into Z. I'm actually hoping they'll catch the mistake so I can end the year at exactly 30.5 EQS
