I just booked an itinerary for me (1K) and my partner (member).
I always click on travel options just to see if there in anything interesting on offer (or a glitch allowing me to fast track to F!
)
I clicked on the Award Accelerator option and noticed the following:
Award Accelerator
Opt to pile up miles faster.
Award AcceleratorŽ helps you grow your Mileage Plus account faster, so you can redeem miles for travel rewards sooner.This option is offered below for all eligible passengers in your itinerary.* Miles purchased do not count toward elite qualification.
LarkSFO (1K Member)
4,796 Award Accelerator miles 110.00 USD
9,592 Award Accelerator miles 221.00 USD
LarkSFO partner (Member)
4,796 Award Accelerator miles 134.00 USD
9,592 Award Accelerator miles 269.00 USD
Although neither of these is a great deal (unless you need to top off), I found it interesting that there is a price difference for miles for 1K's vs. member.
Has this always been the case?
