Not sure if it is clear to all that apart from Mexicana flights which the initial link specified, ALL other * carriers, worldwide, on all fares will get DOUBLE points in the MEXICANA plan.

What they are worth, who knows, but it may well be useful for someone!

i.e. if you fly Ansett for 2000 miles which UA only give us 1400 points for (70%) MEX will give 8000 points (4000 + 4000) and UA only give points 30 days either side of a PAID trans pac, which the MEX plan does not require.

If am flying MEX (on a UA codeshare so it counts for this offer I imagine!) in a week or so LAX-Los Cabos-LAX. Normally UA give me 100% of that - about 2000 miles. Is is worth me ending up with 8000 MEX miles? At least 2000 UA I can use in some way by adding to the "bank". Bet the mimimum redemption level is 10K, and where the heck will I ever get 2000 MEX pointsvin future?
