To Jiejie: Tks for the tip of booking CO i/o UA to earn TG miles in lower bookign classes, which brings me to the next question:

I made a dummy booking on UA & CO web page for a flight from LAX-ORD on August 11th. Fare incl. tax is pretty much the same (USD 185/person). HOWEVER UA is showing booking class W -which would not earn me TG miles- and CO is also shwoing booking class W -BUT which would earn me TG miles, since CO W class is not mentioned by TG as one of the booking classes earning me 0 miles.

Is my understanding correct OR do I have to assume to get also 0 miles with CO in booking class W because it is mentioned flight is operated by UA, fare class W?

Any TG member already flew CO W class? Did TG credit any miles?

Cheers!^
You will need to map the CO W to UA fare class as UA is the carrier. My guess is this would earn you zilch.
