https://www.united.com/ual/en/us/fly...weiss-air.html As long as these are LX 8000-8499 flight numbers you are good to earn with UA based on the earning table that is essentially identical to the one on LX. Just one note ... they don't always credit automatically; keep your receipts and BPs.
WK is a preferred partner as well, so earning PQP is not too bad.

This is fantastic info and I had no idea. Yes they are in that flight # range (LX 8004/5). I assumed I would only be eligible to earn M&M points - which I was OK with, even though M&M is pretty useless to me while I am still living, working and mostly traveling only in the US. I thought I had to book through UA and/or have UA flight #s to get MP credit.
Now I just have to figure out how to attach my MP # to the reservation. Doesn't seem to be doable on the Swiss website since I entered my M&M # when booking initially (or at least I can't figure it out) so I guess I'll have to suffer through calling them.
Thanks to you both!
