USAir not positing correctly for Gold >55k
Recently had a few sectors on US ... one in Economy and two in First ... I'm a BD*G with >55k status miles and I think that the Economy sector posted okay but that I got short changed on the bonus miles on the First sector (I know that First on US now only earns 1.5x)
So I think that the Bonus miles on the LAS-PHX and PHX-SFO sectors were calculated incorrectly ? ... shouldn't I be expecting to receive a bonus amount roughly equal to the original posted amount.
Am I missing something or does this look incorrect?

the PHX - SFO bonus should be 975+162
the LAS - PHX bonus should be 900+150

Indeed I was >55k before taking these flights .. so it's nearly 2,000 miles I should be getting so that's worth a call to the ICC I guess 
On another semi-related note .. Anyone got any idea why is it that US (and United too) only seem to recognise my status as *S when it prints on their boarding cards (really not a big deal, more just curious!)

This is what you should have earned (more or less).
2684 bonus miles for PHX - JFK, 1137 and 1050 miles for PHX - SFO and LAS - PHX respectively. It does look like the 55K bonus hasn't been applied to those last two flights for you.
I've had this in the past when booking flights as *S but becoming *G in the mean time, but if you're a 55K+ flyer, I imagine that probably doesn't apply to you. Sometimes these things just get "stuck", unfortunately. You can try calling the airline and asking them to reenter the number, but it may be there's little you can do until you get to the airport and show the actual card.
