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.
Don't know which version of the CC you have, but the version I have gives EQMs for the first $5000 spent on united.com. You won't see these post anywhere on the activity list, they just show up in the total.
Of course, that could only explain 5000 of the 8920 EQMs.
How about EQM bonuses on other *A carriers? I see you posted that you accounted for the flights, but some of them also provide EQM bonuses for the upper fare classes.
By the way, nice problem to have.
