EQM for TACA flight?
The MP page seems to address only RDM and lists things by fare classes that don't match TACA's fare classes, so I'm having trouble figuring out whether or not it would be worth booking a TACA premium fare that I'm considering.
TACA's lifemiles would give me 125%, but their program is nearly useless to me and I need to EQM. It's been a couple of years since I've flown them so I don't remember how it works, beyond seeing that they still don't have a way to put in yoru UA number on-line.
Any ideas?

TA is hard to get miles on UA. You won't get EQM's yet, I think they are slated for *A sometime next year. In order to get RDM's you need to give them your MP# when you check in. Make sure to get a itinerary printed out by them after you do this, they print it on ticket stock then save all your BP's and everything as 9 out of 10 it won't show up in MP and MP will deny RDM's if you do not have any of the the above. Taca is BPIA if you want my 2c.
I have a couple of other options, so might as well hold off on what I was considering.

Thanks. I had no problem with the RDMs on my previous TA flight, about 2 years ago. (I gave them the number when checking in.) And I was actually pleasantly surprised with the service. But I'd already met my EQM needs for the year at the time.
