United and HON Accrual
Probably this has been asked before, but I couldn't find any reference within 20 minutes so I'm posting this:
I am a LH Senator, going strong on HON (320K Status miles this year as of now) an I just noticed the HON Status miles showing up on my statements.
However I'm seeing that for the 8 United flights I took the last 10 days I do not get any HON accrual.
When HON was introduced I remember UA being part of the gang so I booked my intra-US flights with them. Now this seems to have changed.
Did I overlook anything
Cheers

Happily looking forward to my first F flight on 340 from LAX to MUC tomorrow.

Hmmm,
so you mean that even though I see the flights with UA in my online statement as regular status and award miles, the HON miles will be shown later??? Sounds weird!
thanks for the welcome, and I do plan to enjoy the F flight to MUC (and then on to NUE) tomorrow.
Since it is on LH metal I know I won't have any issues with mileage accrual also, but that is the least of my worries ;-)

Enjoy F, nevertheless!

So if I understand the rules correctly, even UA flights with LH codeshare codes don't count for HON (eg LH 9152 FRA-ORD) which is actually operatied by United?
