I'm left twisting in the wind on MM benefits. I won't hit 1MM until early next year. Adding in CO miles will bring it a little closer but not prior to end of year, so I really don't know what I will get and whether I need to go out of my way to accelerate so I can hit 1MM before end of year. Since I am not sure if. how, when, they are combining for lifetime calcs, how much do I really need before the end of the year? I hate to get screwed if they devalue MM benefits.
UA people are hoping they keep *G status, CO people are hoping they keep status nomination. Doubt they keep both

pass the mark on that carrier before the end of the year.

My 000xx-xxx-xxx number is safe. 
Still amazed that when MP started in the early 80's they went with 11-digit format. Seems like overkill given computing power, etc.. at the time. And btw-- it is not so hard to remember.

Thanks, Scott!
Please announce the MM rules soon--I've been working for many long years to hit the 3MM BIS to get 1K for life!
Also, just let us know when the SWUs can be used on both carriers--the sooner we get a date the sooner all of us can begin to book our holiday travel. I am afraind to book anything now on CO in case the decision is nto to make them interchangeable this summer as previously announced.

I believe OP format is two letters follow by 6 numbers
MP format is 50 numbers...(actually 11). I have easy memorized my OP # but haven't even tried to memorize my MP #. I will add that while I'm sure we all have memorized a full 10 digit phone number so what is one more digit. I think my issue is the format, it is 5 digits, 3 digits, and then 3 digits so it is a break from memorizing a 3, 3, 4 telephone number.

Thanks for update - but as pointed out - this is just a name announcement. It is what it is - so there are really no questions we can ask at this time that you can answer. But obvioulsy we have many.

On the plus side, this announcement was supposed to happen in Q3, so glad to see they are doing better than estimates.

Thanks for not making it the "Miles Plus" that was showing up on several united.com pages (e.g. promotion registration). ^ That sounded worse than either "Mileage Plus" or "OnePass."
Thanks also for not making it, generically, "The United Frequent Flier Program" like "The United Club." ^

A consistent boarding process is implemented across Continental and United.
