1P on UA gives 100% RDM bonus for UA/US/CO flights which would definitely help get you more miles.
I totally missed that in the comparison chart. I saw the comments about only UA metal applying to MM status and I wrongly assumed that applied for bonuses as well.
My trip to Australia may be using award miles from US. The flight would likely be on UA metal, that would earn me no EQMs though since it's award travel, correct?
