I flew one transcon in Sept and two in October and still have not realized any complimentary upgrades? Did UA screw up or do they really have to be in the same quarter?

They screwed up. IMO.

We both flew 20,000 miles last week on UA metal and 8 x 500 milers have posted already for example.

The "clock" ticks over STRICTLY for each 10,000 flown on UA metal. If you flew 9999 miles in January and your next flight was today you'll THEN get 4 after today's flight - even a very short one, posts.

The 1K HK49 upgrades rely on an infreqent "sweep" of all accounts before they post, but 500 milers in my experience post fast. (Or as you have found, not at all!)
