Here's a fun one: missed my flight booked in business (P fare code), went to the ticket desk and was charged 150EUR for missed flight fee and rebooked in K despite plenty of J seat availability on the next flight. The seat assignment was in coach 
--- got through preclearance, saw a supervisor who restored my seat assignment to a business seat, but only the K tier points posted
Hopefully this gets fixed with submitting the form, but concierge desk wasn't helpful and said to just use the form and keep fingers crossed...

And it seems that tier credits /avios (for me anyway) seem to take about 5-6 days to get added - i received last Monday's outbound leg on Sunday, but still waiting for the Friday night return leg to appear. And the Avios always appear a day after the tier credits.

My one UA flight I was waiting for posted but it seems like a lot less Avios than I should have gotten.
Just going to take what I got and move on. Don't have any receipts for a flight from over a year ago!

I agree with this - my points were about a third of a typical Aer Lingus business return - both in and out of Newark. I am guessing that some of this is down to the lack of AerClub status bonus with the United flight, but given that it cost significantly more than the amount that my company normally pay for an AerLingus return flight, i am kind of surprised.

Check the table on this EI page for UA booking classes.. my flights that have credited so far have been in line with this, within a mile or two anyway.
Basically only First and Business earn 100% of the mileage, while economy earns 50% or 75%, depending on booking class.
It's based on distance flown, not amount spent.
