Hi. My GF was rerouted from a UA SEA-DEN-YEG to a AC SEA-YVR-YEG one way and from YEG-SFO-PDX-SEA to YEG-SFO-YVR the other way.
First one was involuntary, second one was a mutual deal since the SFO-PDX was full.
She got miles on what was flown except SEA-YVR on AC.
How should I request miles for this?

More interesting; what is the best strategy when this happens? Change the FF number before the AC flights to AeroPlan and request MP miles afterwards?

Last, the promotion miles for flying a UA round trip probably won't show up automatically in this case; could a call fix it, or is e-mail the way to go? I am no UA expert.
