2015 March Status achievement changes on Codeshares question
Was just informed by UA premier telephone agent that a specific application of the March 2015 MP plan changes will affect status achieved through codeshare flights. Not sure if true or not.
My LGA-YYZ UA website bookings for codeshare flights on AC metal will no longer count towards Premier status achieved by segment (flights are too short to achieve status per mileage). The revelation was that spend revenue has to go to UA meaning booking on UA and flying on UA metal. In other words codeshare revenue doesn't end up with UA but with AC therefore my UA bookings for AC metal flights will no longer count. The alternative would be to book and fly UA from EWR-YYZ, an undesirable workaround.
Have read through the threads, UAL website codeshare sections and UA 2015 Revenue based analysis available and can't see anything to corroborate this info.
Any insight on this?
