Multiple FF fields @ UA.com - which will be credited?
Cross posting from UA forum as this question DOES talk about CO:
Booked a flight on UA.com.
While filling the details, I noticed that I can feed multiple FF # - so I entered my CO first (as this is the one I want credited) and UA second ("just in case" kind of thing) - which will be credited? Should I contact UA to explicitly ask for credit on the CO account?
Thanks,

While UA does support multiple FF numbers, it's little known and seldom used.
If the website prompted you for two, it prompted you because you had two operating carriers on your flight.
The first one was for the first carrier, the second one was for the second carrier. I believe it even tells you the carrier next to the prompt. Both are the primary numbers to be used for the respective carriers.

Thanks Channa.
One of flights is operated by SAS, but for each input field I had a dropdown which allowed me to choose from multiple carriers (that is, more then the carroers which actually do my flights).
So I'm still confused as to which miles will I actually get.

Right. So it sent the mileage info for each carrier as you entered it.
It looks like this:
Code:
United Airline: [Drop Down] Number: ___________________ Scandinavian Airline: [Drop Down] Number: ___________________
If you wanted CO for both, you should have entered CO for both.

OK, that makes sense (and means I need to call UA).
Thanks!
Thanks!
