They did a one-time adjustment during the UA/CO merger to align the two programs, because CO had counted partner flights and class-of-service bonuses, and UA hadn't. They adjusted your UA balance upward at that time if you had any flights that met those criteria. Since then, it's UA-operated flights only.
