Earning UA MileagePlus with EVA Air!
 

Thought with the merger, no more earnings with Continental.
But according to: https://www.united.com/CMS/en-US/mar...aspx?ItemId=71

cheap fares get mileage too! (although starting at 50%). Still better than crediting to BR. No signs of EQMs.

so BR may be joining Star Alliance ?:p

Nice! I wonder if Evergreen Club members will be able to earn on the new United. There is no information on EVA's website yet.

The app has been in for a while now, but no one knows when membership becomes official. This offers me another TPAC option.

LAX

Good to see more EVA fare classes are now eligible for mileage accrual in UA MileagePlus. Even though EVA miles don't count towards elite status in UA M+ as of now, CI with SkyTeam has competition now in my FFP book.

Good to know. Thanks. Something is something...

Yeah EVA already sent in their app. I'm glad that the Taiwanese airlines have finally gotten around to joining alliances. It's been a long time coming especially since both CI and BR have had extensive relations with Delta and Continental respectively.

The alliances are eager to snap up the last remaining carriers in Asia and are now looking towards wooing the big time Middle Eastern carriers to joining them.

Great news!!

Wow! I wonder if someone can confirm this. The flight numbers listed UA 9883-9899 do not seem to show up on the UA schedule. They also do not look like the old CO numbers (96xx). The chart is also a lot newer than the final days of the CO/BR agreement.

I guess I am trying to figure out if this could be an old page that came back accidentally when the website got reworded from CO to UA or this is indeed new information.

I just called BR and the agent told me this is not true. She said that she could not insert a UA MP# into the PNR.

Not calling UA now as the wait is very long due to the conversion.

BR Evergreen Club earning chart is here:

the UA chart actually makes some sense...

However, then there is this: http://pss.united.com/web/en-US/cont...iance/eva.aspx - seems like some kind of botched Search/Replace job:

Airport Lounge Benefits

Services
You can select from Super United Business®/Premium Laurel Class or United Economy® on your codeshare flights. Super United Business®/Premium Laurel Class service offers customers a high- quality experience on trans-Pacific flights.

This is good news after I could not credit EVA discount-Y ticket to CO for a while.

the "updated" United.com page for EVA changed.

Looks like reward amounts are the same as the normal Star Alliance amounts. If this is true, it will be a big ^^^. I remember with Continental, an economy seat on EVA to TPE or beyond for redemption was 90k+.

So far, from what I can gather, this (earning and redeeming) is not true and likely to be either a mistake due to the UA/CO website merge or a premature update.

I wrote to UA asking them about this. No answers yet.

I never could get a BR fight in an inter-asia award itinerary, hope that changes too.

I just called UA to see if they can book me an award ticket on EVA. The agent said nothing was coming up (LAX-TPE) and if there is no availability but valid, it would say full. It does not say that.

Still waiting for a reply to my question to 1kvoice.

Edit: Amazingly, the UA reservation agent called me back! She did more research and confirmed the relationship does not exist.

I knew it was too good to be true.
