www.united.com for airline ticket purchases)?
Details: I have over $6000 of "United Airlines" charges on my Visa statements this year but so far only 4061 PQMs for united.com charges have been transferred per United. 99% of the time I use United.com to book tickets but it is possible that (esp. during the merger!) I had to resort to calling united. Also, there are lots of smaller (<$100) "United Airlines" chargesfor PE seating, taxes, fare lock fees, etc. Which of these charges actually qualify? Appreciate your expertise folks!
This merger complicates things for this year. PQM from Chase pre-merger is going to be rolled into your 3/3 MP starting balance. If you call Chase, they can tell you how many PQM you had for January. (In our case, the January PQM was in the pre-merger number but the Feb PQM shows up separately afterwards)
Everything on united.com should count - all of our snack boxes, fare locks, etc. have counted.
Probably the simplest way to reconcile is to have a browser open to united.com and have printed copies of your VISA statements for comparison. Remember that the PQM goes to the website about 6 weeks after the end of a calendar month (NOT your billing cycle), so any charges after 8/31 probably have not posted to your MP account yet. Then, just compare (calendar) month by month to see if the charges add up. You can see a statement for every month since 3/3 on the website. Click on "View Account Details" from the main page (under MP summary) and then there's a drop-down box to choose each individual month's statement.
