When I view her itinerary, on United.com, it seems to credit the entire surcharge to the return leg when computing her estimated mileage earnings. Am wondering if it's likely to do that when computing actual earnings post-flight (if so I might advise her to credit the outbound to a different program)?

When I looked at posting of flight credits, the PQP for outbound flights (US-> PVG) was 77. The first segment of the return flights, PVG-LAX, has a PQP of 375. The international surcharge was $208 for the entire ticket. There are two other segments for the return (142 for LAX-EWR). The point is that the PQP for outbound was underestimated. The correct amount of PQP should be about 200 (G outbound, T return), not 77.
