Do E-Fares earn double mileage?
Do E-Fares earn double mileage? United says E-Fares do not earn online/firsttime booking bonus of 4000 miles, but silent on double mileage offered through Nov 15. I want to fly SF-BKK for RT miles of approx 14,000, double will give me 28,000!
Thanks!
Thanks!

Your answer is in the wording of the promotion: "Earn double Mileage Plus® miles when you purchase and fly a qualifying roundtrip on United, United Shuttle® and United Express®. Offer valid for travel between October 4 and November 15, 2001....Offer valid on qualifying paid, published fares in any booking class."

An E-fare is a "published fare".
Notice that, even though there are some exclusions (Government fares and code shares), the offer does not say something such as, "Not valid for E-fares."

Thanks for your post Dave!
I thought that an E-Fare is NOT a published fare because it does not appear under fare searches under Travelocity/Expedia/Yahoo etc. And, I am always unsure about the wording "Qualifying Fares" as I get conflicting answers on the phone.
Glad to find help on this board!

AA treats net-saaver fares as published fares and you get miles. Sometimes promos will limit it to a "class of service" Unpublished fares are consilator fares, bulk fares, usually gotten exclusively from a travel agent, or as part of a package. I think Delta doesn't given miles for e-fares. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

I think you are thinking of NW. Delta DOES give miles for web and fan fares.
