EQM Calculation Help!

Hello,

I was just doing some EQM checking and noticed my calculations are off from what UA is showing me.

I search my Mileage Plus activity to show me all flights flown this year. I took my flight miles (actual flown miles) and added a 50% EQM bonus for my FACDJZYB flights.

So, I calculate it like this:
SFO-NRT C-Class flight would be - 5124 actual + 2562 EQM bonus = 7686 EQM
SFO-BOS V-Class flight would be - 2704 actual + 0 EQM bonus = 2704 EQM

My math adds up my current EQM miles to 61734, but United says I'm at 70654. For the life of me, I can't figure out why there is an 8920 EQM discrepancy.

Can anyone help me figure this out? My status is Premier Exec and I do have a Mileage Plus card, but I dont' think that makes a difference.

Thanks in advance!

p.s. - I do know there is a 5000 EQM bonus on my MP card, but I'm pretty sure I haven't reached that.
