Think about it - if YOU were in another airline, and were approached by a bd member, would you match them? (I think not - after all, they probably just got GIVEN it...
)
Well when I send them my statement from the past year showing all the flights I have taken with United and US Airways (enough to earn me *G in mileage plus) and basically tell them all of that could be theirs (not entirely true but some of it would have been) then I thought I had a chance. If I had earned all those miles in MP then they would have matched me for sure so I don't really see the difference apart from the fact that I choose to park my miles elsewhere.
