This means that when UA has changed it's partner earnings recently they have to do this in agreement with their partners. I would suppose, as you describe it, that it will rather be the partners that decide on the mileage earnings. Why then did the mileage earnings change at the moment UA implemented it's new structure if it's mostly driven by the partners.
It just takes a few weeks. I flew a UA codeshare on LH FRA-EWR and I got a total of 41,000 miles in A class, and PQD of $3760. It was a rare flight for me as I try to stay off partners when there is a UA operated flight so PQD's will count toward GS re-qualification, but in this instance I couldn't make the UA-operated flight. I called up GS line once and they just said the miles will post, but it takes a long time. Fair enough.
