Unfortnately, Northwest isn't giving me miles as I they took the ticket and just gave me the boarding pass as the receipt and now won't give us miles because they don't accept boarding passes for miles.</font>
Getting NW miles should be easy. All you need in addition to your boarding pass is the ticket number. Get it from your paper ticket receipt, your T/A, your e-ticket receipt or where ever you got the ticket.
