I'm a United Premier member. Can I put in
for upgrades for any of the Star Alliance
partners like I can with United?
Flying Air Canada in September, Thai in
October and Luftansa in December and would
like to take a shot at upgrading

Unfortunately, not yet. Although they are moving towards reciprocal benefits (check out www.star-alliance.com), upgrades for Premier members isn't yet available.

Catman, if ou do your partner flights between sep-15 and nov-15-98 think of registering with UA for the Star-Alliance-promotion (flying 3=5'000 miles, 4=15'000 miles, 5=25'000 miles, 6=50'000 miles).

and...remember to take the star alliance quiz at http://www.starquiz.com too...you'll earn 10,000 more mileage plus miles (additional to the 5,000 - 50,000 miles that Rudi mentioned)...that is, you have to fly united and at least two of the other star alliance member carriers...and you'll get a total 15,000 miles for 3 carriers, 25,000 for 4, 35,000 for 5, and 60,000 for all 6...
even if you don't fly (or don't fly enough to qualify for the bonus mentioned)...you'll still receive a small bonus of 250 mileage plus miles just for completing the quiz...

Rudi and Tedhl... Thanks for the Star Alliance bonus miles tip... I signed up for
it and hoping to get at least 3 partners
(know already I'm flying United and Air Canada.)
The quiz was fun and for once I passed it!
Thanks again for your help! CATMAN
