Okay, I've just read that & I got the gist. I don't think I would be able to do it because my Delta plat has expired....I haven't flown Delta too much of late because I've been migrating to *A gradually, haha.

Anyways, back to my original conversation and massive goof-up, I think that I will credit the miles to MileagePlus because a double mile promo on a Hong Kong flight is just too good to pass up. Furthermore, UA upgrade awards and full awards are marginally less than SQ, so that's 1 benefit. I'll just try to reach elite status as quickly as possible on UA & then credit some flight miles to SQ so I'll have enough miles to use on an award & then maybe lose the SQ account & simply use the UA account from then on?

It will take me a little while longer to reach *G, but life isn't ALL about status, is it, now? *GASP*

I think that's a rational choice. Passing up the double miles promo really doesn't seem to be too rational. Especially on a ridiculously long flight like ORD-HKG.
