A few questions: how do you calculate BIS miles? Is this something United shows on their website under MileagePlus activity? I don't have many miles (relative to others) but I almost always fly Business or First and have only flown United metal this year.
84,110 PQM
$41,456 PQD
I have two more flights to go this year so may end at around $45K PQD for the year.
Any guidance from you experts is greatly appreciated. Thank you
I keep a spreadsheet. You can just go through your flights and add em up--BIS = PQM/1.5 for premium fares, BIS=PQM for others. Spreadsheet gives me a running total (entered after each itinerary complete), plus calculates cpm.
