I think I understand. I had a feeling I was missing something. I guess I could still go for the United Promo and start off with 50,000 miles, I guess it doens put me almost half way to the goal. I would have 18 months to accumulate another 60,000 miles or so. I guess I could also transfer from my SPG account to make up a potential shortfall, or even just buy a few miles if the right offers come about.

Arent there rumors of a US Airlines and United merger? I guess this is a hypothetical but I wonder if you had two sperate accounts with United and US Airways if they would combine to one account. This is obviously contingent on a merger and some management decisions. I guess I shouldnt bank on it.
