that was the plan -- to bring the UA lifetime metric to the same basis as the present CO lifetime metric.

One-time recalibration and combination of lifetime balances
Currently, MileagePlus and OnePassŪ track lifetime activity differently: MileagePlus counts only base EQM (actual flight miles on United and United Express), while OnePass counts both base EQM and bonus EQM (those earned on partner airlines, or through promotions or credit cards).

To bring everyone to the same starting point, on December 31, 2011, we will recalculate MileagePlus lifetime miles balances to include both base EQM and bonus EQM. This means the lifetime miles balance will either increase or remain the same.

Then, for all members who have both a MileagePlus and OnePass account, we'll combine the lifetime miles balances to arrive at a new MileagePlus lifetime miles balance, which will be carried forward into the 2012 program.

The OnePass and MileagePlus lifetime balances will continue to display separately until late in first quarter 2012.
