There is still an orginal boarding pass showing "SEN" or "UA P" or whatever. The idea behind is that the want to make sure that the miles were not credited to another program. In theory, you were reuired to send the originals. In practice, copies (even fax) was always sufficient.

They did so and 90% of all problems can solved via the website. However, there will be always 10% left....
