AFAIK UA doesn't provide an easy list of them. However, you can visit United.com's page on partner earnings, and click each individual airline to see what fare classes are eligible, what (if any) minimums there are for elites (e.g. 250/500 miles on some partners), and what bonuses if any elites earn.

Note that these are subject to change at any time, and apply at the time of flying the partner, not booking the ticket (so if LH suddenly says they will only credit what had been a 100%-earning fare when you booked it at 50% or less, you're stuck with it).

Off the top of my head, I can think of LH (Lufthansa), AC (Air Canada), NH (All Nihon), SN (Brussels), and OS (Austrian) as several who offer elite bonuses for MP members.

Exactly. Advice should be given when you know what you are talking about.

OP, have you called UA on this? There could be a processing error holding this up like you not having the correct fare code so the records don't match. Or it quite possibly have been an ineligible fare basis. If that happens UA does not tell you, they simply don't credit you.

how long does it typically take for an Asiana flight to post to a UA account?

thanks.

When did you fly?
What were your city pairs?
What fare class were you in?

There is an IT issue right now between CM and UA, and the CM flights are not crediting automatically. I fly CM a lot, and I have been having to request the credit and sit on my hands. I don't yet have the credit, so I can't tell you how long it will take, but I suspect that it will be resolved before the 14 day window advised after submission of my claims, which I had to wait 15 days to submit.

CM is much better for earnings. Their FFP is M+, so no surprises like some I have had on AV. (50% earnings on a Z fare that UA sold me as business, but turned out to be deeply discounted economy, for example. )

In addition to mileage credit, CM flights are not showing up for award routing, either. Calling in to UA fixes that, but it's disappointing that this has been going on for a couple of months now. For me, it is all a big pain.

FYI... If you are interested in PQMs, buying your ticket direct from Copa will earn you a 25% bonus. That bonus does not apply to RDMs, but it makes reaching the mileage requirements of any given status level all that much easier.

While I like both AV and CM, I prefer CM. They are more consistently on time, the food is usually better (IMHO) and the service is always top tier. I also find their equipment to be cleaner and newer. Have a problem on either one, and that's where the Latin American fun begins. Neither handles irrops, misconnects, etc. well, and compensation is something only granted to the most tenacious after having earned more than they (we) get.

Finally, PTY is just by far the best hub in the region. SAL is pretty easy, but it's a dump. BOG is improving, but it's still in need of more gates. At PTY, there is shopping, edible food, a decent Copa Club (UC Clone), lots of gates, no entry/exit requirements for connections and they continue to remodel until they reach their goal of an entirely new and modern terminal. Plus they have three runways.

Does anyone know where i would find the ANA "boarding number", as it seems their mileage credit page on the UA website requires it?

(Emphasis mine)

Generic language allows them one less page for them to update when these 'select partners' change over time.

I flew on a UA Z fare IAD to PTY in biz on CM operated flight a week ago? Ticket is on 016 stock. It's been 7 days now and miles have not posted. Is that normal? Also how long does copa take to post miles to UA because on the same ticket I flew 5 days ago on a CM fare in D class operated by CM from PTY to SCL. No miles yet on that. Do I just need to be patient?

RE Copa:

It will take roughly 1 week after you arrive for the miles to post

If you changed your flight(s) around at all it may not post - I have had issues after moving a flight foward, but after 15 days you can request the miles, it then took 3-4 days after requesting them to post to my account

My flights PTY-GRU-PTY on 016 stock last month took about a week to post.

Kacee

Yes you need to be patient because UA will not let you file a missing mileage request until 15 days after the flight.

Good luck with that Z fare, I had a huge battle to get credit when I purchased one of those, as Z is not a mileage earning fare on CM. I will never buy a CM codeshare through UA again.

CAPT Tee

I received PQM for my recent CM flights on CM stock in about one week. The 25% PQM bonus for booking on CM website took another 3 days to post.

Patience paid off. The miles posted the other day. For the UA Z fare IAD-PTY on CM metal the miles posted as CM in D class. So it takes about a week to get the miles.

same here - 6 days for Copa to post, however still waiting for the 25% EQM bonus
