Dick, maybe you will be lucky. I had a UA connecting flight that because of schedule changes, turned into a one-stop.
However, since it was originally two segments the miles ended up posting as two segments.
Maybe NW's system will show the same quirk (hopefully!).
Another possibility...standby for an earlier MKE-MSP flight??

I had an itinerary booked MKE-MSP-PDX and back.
My outbound flight to MSP will become a one-stop to PDX. Net effect: the lost miles will leave me about 100 miles short of Gold Elite.
Any suggestions?</font>
