Tracking on-line check in
I'm trying to track Mileage Mania points on a spreadsheet and wonder if there is any way to confirm on-line check ins. Making reservations gives you bonus miles so I can see that in the account history, but I don't think there are any routine bonus miles given for checking in.
There seems to be some discrepancy whether you are awarded the on-line check in if you check-in for a flight but end up standing by and flying on another flight. Any ideas?

Purely a guess but I'd say yes. We'll know soon enough. I just did exactly that!

Most of the nwa.com check-in promotions says this in the terms & conditions:
"Promotion applicable for customers who complete the check-in process through nwa.com Check-In or via an E-Service Center for Northwest operated flights only. Changing your reservation after checking in for your flight will result in promotional disqualification"
Accordingly, making manual changes to the seat assignment(i.e changing the flights, stand by for earlier/later flights, rebooking due to flight cancellations etc) after an nwa.com check-in might not fetch you the 5 points. I am not sure how it works if it is a complimentary first class upgrade at the gate though ! Hope you'll still be eligible for the 5 points.
