My question is whether UA will reflect the combined EQM or just UA miles itself. I did not get 2 CR1s for 75K yet since my last flight miles (5000 miles) just posted this morning. (Anyone know whether the CR1s posted instantly with combined accounts' miles?)
Should I do the mile maximizer to get into 75K or I don't need to since I am already there?
Thanks in advance.
From what I learned, UA will not show the actual combined EQM, but will give status of the combined EQM. I did the elite maximizer, and it took 8 days before UA upgraded my status to 1K. CO showed by EQM within 1 day of my purchase. My additional CR1s took 9 days. I expect the SWU to show up in the next week or so. UA still says I have 99375 EQM (I have 835 or so EQM on CO after doing the elite maximizer).

So from what I know, you don't need to do anything, just be patient for the systems to update.
