With program miles earned within the program sponsor (such as flying UA for MP miles, staying at HH for HHonors points), its pretty rare. With regular partners, its somewhat rare. With providers that "buy miles", its all too common. I just emailed the local TV station's consumer help dept about one of them today (Park SFO) which won't even reply to emails and so on, for months.</font>
Pretty rare, but just frequent enough with UA that I always make sure to check a few days after a flight that the miles have posted. (I won't even bother to say 'correctly'...I've long since lost track of all the various bonuses/deals that occur.)
I have to put in a missing mileage request probably about 3-6 times per year. Every time I can remember it's been a case of irregular ops or where I changed flights at the last second or some other weirdness which must have confused UA's computers.
