500 Mile/Segment - Not apply to *A flights?

Hi, I'm a 1K who makes his status on segments every year. Because I'm based out of GSO and fly the east coast a lot, I end up flying on US more that I fly on UA as the US segments count towards my elite status on UA, and I fly UA anytime I fly long distances.

I noticed recently that my UA segments under 500 miles flown in 2008 had all updated to 500 miles, but none of the US segments had. Anyone know if this is planned? Is UA still going to allow me to make my status with BIS segments on US, but not credit me the full 500 miles? Here's an example:

Dec 02, 2008 US 3105 W Class CLT to ATL 227 227 0 454
Dec 02, 2008 US 3171 W Class GSO to CLT 82 82 0 164
Dec 03, 2008 US 3283 Y Class ATL to CLT 227 227 0 454
Dec 03, 2008 US 4590 Y Class CLT to GSO 82 82 0 164
Dec 09, 2008 US 3173 K Class GSO to CLT 82 82 0 164
Dec 09, 2008 US 3222 K Class CLT to ATL 227 227 0 454
Dec 10, 2008 US 2655 Y Class CLT to GSO * 82 82 0 164
Dec 10, 2008 US 3124 K Class ATL to CLT 227 227 0 454
Dec 11, 2008 US 3299 T Class CLT to ATL 227 227 0 454
Dec 11, 2008 US 3303 T Class GSO to CLT 82 82 0 164
Dec 12, 2008 US 1618 T Class ATL to CLT 227 227 0 454
Dec 12, 2008 US 2660 T Class CLT to GSO 82 82 0 164
Dec 16, 2008 UA 355 S Class ORD to SEA 1,720 1,720 0 3,440
Dec 16, 2008 UA 7972 S Class GSO to ORD 590 590 0 1,180
Dec 18, 2008 UA 1210 E Class SEA to ORD 1,720 1,720 0 3,440
Dec 20, 2008 UA 7838 T Class GSO to IAD 500 500 0 1,000
Dec 20, 2008 UA 8073 T Class IAD to GSO 500 500 0 1,000


Notice the UA GSO-IAD is crediting with the full 500, but the GSO-CLT is only crediting with 82. Anyone have an ideas?

TIA!
