Another factor to check is the flight had to be credited to UA MP to count

Is your number now higher than UA"s --- you originally said it was lower.
Yes it's higher now. I found few old BPs from a couple trips in 2015 I had saved that flipped it the other way. Also BPs from a trip that had an IRROPS which and made my journey longer and I had forgotten about.
Would it help that I can provide those BPs showing my MP# on it? But I still wouldn't know what is missing and what is not on their end to begin with.
