Thanks. On the flip side, I requested companion benefits this evening, and my wife was already bumped up to 1K from Silver. Much better perk than a coin.

related topic: how does UA calculate flown miles? They are not listed for each flight. I was at 996k+ before MUC-ORD and one of the flight attendants confirmed that the flight was 4500 miles. Yet my current lifetime total is 1,000,218. Are nautical miles used instead? Is there a way to see tracked history for flown miles, or just reward “miles”?
