They are both *A, it's just 50k reside in United and the other 40k would be pulled from my US Airways... I am just confused on how I combine them to make one United Award Purchase...
Depending on when you plan to fly, your US Airways miles will be eventually converted to American Airlines miles, which (hopefully) would allow you to book one-way award tickets. That way, you can fly one way on AA and back on UA.
