Missing points
I flew EDI-LHR-LAX on Sunday on a through ticket issued by UA.
The transatlantic portion has credited to my Diamond Club account but not the LHR-EDI flight. Given that I was actually checked in by BD in EDI, isn´t it weird that they couldn´t get the pionts credited for a flight on their own metal handled by their own staff?

I've never done a connecting flight like this before, so I am making this up completely, but was it a codeshare all on one flight number? So it would only count for one UK-US points transaction?</font>

I've never heard of a *A carrier having a continuation flight as a codeshare on another carrier; although it may well exist.

Stephen, it is weird, and has happened to me on a number of occasions. UA are very quick at crediting, particularly to their own Mileage Plus accounts whereas BD can be more patchy. And if flights do not credit( as opposed to just being slow) it always seems to be the EDI-x sectors which go missing.
