Sounds to me that the 9,854 bonus miles were not part of a compensation package; rather, a promotion in which you were probably enrolled. How were the miles listed in your account? If you do the math, do they come out to double/triple miles? Perhaps a 500 bonus + double miles?

You are right, they do seem like Double the miles + 500. Here is how they appeared:
Activity Actual Bonus Total
UA 0918 IAD to LHR 3677 4927 8604
UA 0925 LHR to IAD 3677 4927 8604
This gets me wondering which promotion could it be and why didn't my partner get the miles as well? The flight was taken at the end of March.
9V-SMU , thanks for the tips. We didn't even get a meal, just had to spend 2 hours sitting in a plane and then 2 hours stuck at IAD. UA wouldn't even re-route us to the final destination, BCN, as we were to miss the connecting British Airways flight .
