I got this:

2/24/2012 MONTHS OF MILES - PR TRAN 2 - PART1

So I get Tran 2 and you are Tran 1. Hey maybe they think we are some side show from like Mardi Gras or something. A couple of trannies


But maybe Part 1 means there will be part 2,3,4,5,5, etc. Or it's like Medicare and Part B isn't always covered lol

Hmm, so maybe:

2/1000 = TRAN 1
3/1000 = TRAN 2
4/500 = TRAN 6

It'd be interesting to see what other people got and if it correlates

I think you got it!

Seems the IT side of the CO site was better for handling such things.

As I recall, some people got the offer by email and some got an offer by post card and they had different MPM codes. So maybe:

2/1000 = TRAN 1
3/1000 = TRAN 2 (invite method 1)
3/1000 = TRAN 3 (invite method 2)
4/500 = TRAN 6

??

Seems to be jiving:

2/1000 = TRAN 1
3/1000 = TRAN 2 (postcard invite)
3/1000 = TRAN 3 (email invite)
4/500 = TRAN 6

Others?

Still trying to figure out why it says "PART1" though. Are there other parts? Are later postings other parts?

It has been quiet on here. I can tell you that I am waiting for 4K bonus miles in my son's acct. He had qualifying transactions show up in his acct what seems like the day after they did the burst of awards. He hasn't gotten that 4K yet. Thankfully, I've had the majority of my miles post b/c those transactions were in there appropriately; but I don't know if I will ever see these extra 4K. I'm guessing no one has gotten anything else since either (?).

nothing new for me cept the 50k bonus for that new Explorer card.
I love the ones where alls you have to do is buy a pack of gum and you get the bonus lol

I'm just organizing data and info and trying to figure out the best, short bulletted method of describing the entire debacle to the naysayers, laypersons and legal types

Yah that stinks man.

But what you might want to do is just write a letter to this lady:
Pam Baumberger
MP Customer Relations <[email protected]>
MileagePlus® Service Director

...and send it today, tomorrow, the next day, every day and include the words, "Sorry to keep writing you, maam, but as you are aware, I have been fighting to get a hold of the promotions department at UA to get my missing 1/2 million miles posted and I have not had much success. It should not be this hard to get resolution on something so simple for you. In my job, I get orders to complete tasks every day and I actually follow through. Now, I have done my part in the promotion and the rest is up to the airline to take care of me at this time!" or something like that. Cant hurt to spam her just as they spam us with ads and promos that fail anyway, right?

Then again I am sure you have.

I WIN!!!!!!!

In my account as of today:

2/24/2012 Mileage Adjustment 500000
My MoM saga ends with a total of 553,000 miles

Not the 1MM I was shooting for when this whole mess started (I had a well laid out plan in place), but considering we got shut down over 2 months early...not bad, not bad at all.

well woo hoo!! Lemme be the first to congratulate you!

You put in a lot of hours to get those miles. Was it because you contacted them to tell them they owe them? Or did they just finally post as a big batch they knew they had to give you, or both?

What about any minuns you may have had?
I think you had the same Chase cc problem I once had too?

They ought to give you something extra for all the time and effort you put in. Then again there had been a point for me where, if Cartera had just fixed everything they said they would, I was ready to let it all go and have the miles post. They never did so I will wait and see.

But I am happy to see one more big gun get his miles in the sun!

MM!
