Elite Miles Using Northwest
I get conflicting info from CO on the phone and their website. I have Elite status with CO, and have chosen Northwest(not a CO codeshare) for a flight because of the time convenience (and also because I thought I got full miles and Elite Bonus miles. The website says I get full Elite bonus miles (Miles flown plus the 50% bonus miles for having Elite status) by the OnePass people on the phone say I only get the miles flown. Does anyone out there have experience earning
CO miles and Elite miles using NW Air flights?? Thank You.///chasbondy

I have gotten the bonus miles with the regular mileage. I don't, of course, get the 1,000 online booking miles bonus.

Buy a FC or WBC ticket on NW and you'll also get the same elite status mile fare bonus as you would on CO.

'The CO phone agent said...'
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!
This is the funniest thing I've heard recently!
You forget that at the CO res. center they still think the world is flat and that all people travelling on business buy full 'Y' fares

You get the same Elite miles, and Elite bonus miles if qualified, as if the flight was CO.
