Correct. 2,586 was posted for the flown JFK-SFO flight in May. I have had my lifetime miles reconciled prior to the most recent completed trip of JFK->SFO->EWR. It sounds like JFK-SFO may be now 2,588.

I usually try to update after each flight, but I didn't get a chance to on this trip. I also use the monthly email from UA as my reconciling verification.

Thanks for the data point of EWR-SFO. Prior to the most recent trip, I hadn't traveled on this route since January.
