The key question here is what flight activity are you referring to?

Was the flight UA or UX operated -- codeshares or partner flights do not count.

Were the flights paid flights? Award flights do not accumulate MM credit.

On the UA site and in a FT thread's wiki, the key elements are pointed out.
Mileage accrual for Million Miler qualification is based on the flight distance of United- and United Express-operated flights.
  • For elites there is 500 lifetime mile minimum for UA/UX flights.
  • There is no elite bonus or class of service bonus.
  • No partner flights earn UA lifetime miles.
  • Flight number / codeshare does not matter -- as long as it is a United operated flight that is being credited to UA MP program.
  • No credit credit activity earns UA lifetime miles
If you have question about a particular flight(s), list the flight(s) and we can help provide some insight.
