There a
multiple types of miles
- MM: Million Mile Fliers- Not a status level. Folks who fly multiple million lifetime miles received life time status (1MM= Gold, 2MM=Plat, 3MM=1K and 4MM=GS) and the ability to match another person to their annual status level. Lifetime miles are the lifetime accumulation of BIS. In 2012 as a part of merging the Continental and United programs, UA flyers received prior years' credits to match the Continental policy of using PQMs. However, going forward, new earnings are based on BIS miles.
- BIS: Butt in seat miles (miles actually flown).
- PQM: Premier Qualifying Miles - Miles that count toward qualifying for status in the MP program. PQMs are not redeemable for award travel. Previously called EQMs.
- RDM: ReDeemable Miles - Miles that count toward award tickets and upgrades. The number of RDMs has no impact on status qualification.
So it is unclear which you are talking about. The items in
red are the ones you can see in your account. Lifetime miles and PQMs can not be transferred. Only RDMs.
And only RDMs can be used for awards, upgrades, ....
So it would be helpful is know, what type miles you are referring to.
BTW, if your dad is a 2MMer, get him to set you as his companion and his lifetime status will gifted to you also.
