I just flew on US Airways round trip from DC to Tampa going down DCA to CLT to TPA on coach and returning on a first class ticket on a direct flight from TPA to DCA. Now under the old US Airways rules, I would have earned 500 elite miles for the DCA to CLT leg (actual miles is 300 but I have elite status) and 508 elite miles for CLT to TPA, while coming back TPA to DCA, I would have earned 1221 elite miles since I bought first class. So the total would have been 2229 miles towards elite status and I thought this is the amount of points I would have earned under the new system. I just looked at my total and see that I have earned 1725 points and 1822 miles towards elite status. I understand how they calculated the miles (500 for DCA to CLT, 508 for CLT to TPA and 814 for TPA to DCA). I do not understand how they arrived at the 1725 points. Can anyone explain? I am not sure I am going to like the new system.
