Tried to claim some missing miles for a flight on actual NW metal from PHX -MEM. After the usual faxing copies of boarding pass etc, time passing, 2 phone calls and an e-mail, got an e-mail 14 weeks after the flight informing me that they couldn't credit the miles as the flight did not qualify. The same evening the missing miles appeared on my account!

Anyone know if there is such a thing as a non-qualifying NW flight on NW metal?

Thanks
