Depending on whether that partner is a Preferred Partner or ordinary Partner, UA will credit:

a. find the % of miles accruable based on fare class... IF its 100%
b. take the distance flown and divide by 5 or 6, depending on whether the airline is a "Preferred" partner (like Air Canada) or regular partner (like SIA).
c. subject b above to a CAP ... for example, in F or Business, there is a cap of 1500/1000 on First/ Business or 750/500 (if on economy or premium economy) depending on whether the airline is a preferred partner or ordinary partner...

take the LOWER of b or c, above....
