Has anyone have personal experience with this? Thanks and Safe Travels.. (And yes my L Fare credits 50% to UA).. Thanks and Safe Travels
Earlier this year I flew a CM-ticketed and operated itinerary and had initially my MP number in the reservation for the CPU eligibility and I was using RPUs for some segments. I was able to go into the reservation and change the FF# aftre the segments were flown but before they were credited and changed the FF# to A3. After they credited, I changed it back to UA MP for the CPU on the inbound and once again switched after flights completed. So, it was possible then. Now, with the new ConnectMiles program, I'm not sure but I figure the reservation system is the same, so it shouldn't be an issue.
