I believe that there were more UA passengers/employees than CO passengers/employees. The "new company" needs to keep this in mind.
Absolutely fair point. PMUA was a bit larger than PMCO, and of course the challenge is to retain both the customers and competent staff from both, and we can all hope that we look back on this as a series of bumps that got smoothed out! For me the bright side is more non stop destinations from more hub cities, even as there are changes to the FF program that I disagree with. Clearly, there is more work to be done.

I received credit for a LH flight that i flew less than 24 hours ago, but still waiting for credit from a UA flight a couple of dys ago. Just think it is strange that LH would post so quickly and they can't post UA flights.

Just no mileage information. Hmmm....
there have been other reports of upgraded flights not showing award mileage -- suspect that is the source of your problem.

Make sure none are booking into ON .

How should this be accomplished? Has there been success with calling UA Reservations and having it changed?

I agree that since the mileage postings used to be faster for both UA and CO, it seems silly that it takes a few days for miles post at this point. Especially when the new UA pss and associated systems are nothing more than the old CO pss and associated systems.

Well... unless you are upgrading from biz to first on a 3-cabin, in which case ON is the correct designation, currently shared with saver F awards, unfortunately.

Nothing happened so I called 1K desk today and was transferred to MP and was told "to be patient and that it was a huge merger." The agent told me maybe in May 2012 my account might be corrected. The agent seemed to have no compassion on how this impacts the customer and that there was basically nothing I could do but wait. The fix date seems to be a continually moving target now. I have also sent, emails, Faxes and letters to MP with copies of all these tickets and boarding passes and nothing has changed. What a bunch of liars!!!
Brasila,

Yes, I agree, they are liars.

I saw a posting a few weeks ago that someone was successful in changing ON to R. However, I called UA last night to correct my wife's upcoming itinerary (both upgraded with PRU before 3/3) from ON to R, I was told there is no way to do that.

It's very clear that incorrect ON flights don't post. Any suggestion on what I should do?

I found an agent who actually knew that ON was wrong. She wasn't able to change it to RN (there was no R availability) so she changed it to PN. Probably not the right thing either but I assume it has a better chance of posting.

I have a 500 mile flight missing because of this from early March -- not calling to see how long this take.

I have a SFO-SYD flight on March 9th L paid up to ZN, then at gate changed to ON complimentary Have called x3 USA, Phillipines Singapore - no success in getting miles let alone EQM posted
As for upgrades - MEL-SYD-SFO upgraded to First from Z - no miles deducted no copay charged yet - same for a few days later upgraded LAX-MEL from Z to F - card # taken miles - still no card charge and no miles deducted- have questioned it twice via USA mileage plus - its all ok its being done manually - what will happen at the airport??? Melbourne PMCO and PMUA staff are particularly nasty!

Wonder what happened there? Reserved and ticketed about 3 weeks ago. 016 ticket number issued. Upgrade certificate applied and actually cleared. Seats assigned. Flight times showing.

Just no mileage information. Hmmm....

Thanks WineCountry. I hadn't noticed anyone reporting this particular glitch...but there are a lot to keep up with
This particular record is free of the ON issue, so OK there. Thanks.

I have this question as well. A different upcoming reservation where the upgraded 2-cabin aircraft is showing ON instead of R. I am more concerned that the seat will not be available then fighting with UA later about mileage accruals.

Anyone with recent experience on what happens at the airport with this issue?...or recent luck in having the record cleaned up prior to travel?

Yeah, flew Sunday March 26th SFO-ORD on an ON class ticket. All was well. Miles posted. I was surprised

Now, with the spate of recent schedule changes, the revised itineraries seem to have played absolute havoc with a bunch of upgraded trips I have in Jun/Jul, where I am now seeing the dreaded (R/ON) Coach, and I am in limbo

This stuff is tres bizarre ...

Credit back of RPU or GPU to MP account. Procedure?

Ok experts. I thought maybe the system would be "fixed" by now but this has been going on so long even I am beginning to forget about things. Here is the case. SFO to JFK to SFO. I flew the outbound but cxld the return while at JFK. Returned on award ticket in F taken from my account. My original ticket was supported both ways by my GS friend. The RPU taken prior to March 3 was confirmed into C. Was told this would return to his account. Still not. How do I get his RPU back? Thanks.
