IOW, do I get some extra miles that accumulate in another account?
Can they be combined with the miles in my personal account?
Thanks!
As a small business owner, I have a business extraa account. From what I understand, you have to be a business owner to have an account. Of course, you can give out the code to people to use when making reservations. I've found that the business extra desk does provide more travel help than the standard advantage desk - this was before I became plt/exp. Whenever someone purchases a ticket using your number, you get points added to your account which can be used for tickets and upgrades for domestic and international flights as well as AC access, and advantage gold status.
The points do not have a direct correlation to miles, so they can not be combined with the miles in your advantage account.
