In fact, often end up with LESS miles, such as in your case

Never worked for me

But if I interpet UA forum correctly, UA flights get the 500 mile minimum. So, now that we're one big happy family ....

Pretty sure my DFW-SFO-NRT posted combined miles instead of lesser combined when I flew UA on same flight number - alas as is so often the case, equipment change in SFO
