transfering miles did not neccessarily link accounts if done recently -- linking accounts has been disable for a week or so.

go to https://secure.unitedmileageplus.com...ites/index.jsp to get more info on your account status

your old MP number will still be useful but UA will post to your new account even if you use your "old numbers for quite some time"
