1st, count me among the well warned but somehow oblivious to the drop off of partner flights. My US flights indeed show as EQMs (and not as an uptick in MM tallies). I hadn't noticed, but what are you gonna do? UA doesn't fly to some of these places.

2nd - the UAx flights that list as Republic or other. As they count for EQMs and RDMs, I never thought to assure that they were counting for MMs. Obviously they should.

Even after the merger and the mm adjustment, I have > 10 years as a 1K and right at 700k lifetime miles. While i have some fare bonus and a trace of double EQMs, the main reason for the gap is partner flights.
But the partner flights should've counted as part of the one-time adjustment.
