Hence, it does really matter which milage program you use and is one reason this Canuck credits their flights with AC and other *A partners to UA's programme. Different programmes also have different rules for acquiring status. For instance, AC's Aeroplan programme requires spending thousands of dollars on AC flights every year to earn status (in addition to earning the requisite elite miles). UA's programme doesn't have such a requirement for non-US residents like myself. Similarly, UA's programme requires flying 1,000,000 miles with them to get lifetime Gold status. However, Asiana's programme requires flying only half that amount across all *A partners, a much easier requirement to hit. That being said, I am both an AC Aeroplan and United MilagePlus member. I credit all my flights to UA's MilagePlus and accumulate award miles through the various AC and other travel credit cards I have to AC's Aeroplan and BA's Executive Club. Safe Travels, James |
I’m thinking of booking a 016 ticket that includes a segment in AC premium economy that united.com says is “R” class. The ua page says R on AC gives no mileage credit. Is this another mapping issue or will it really give no mileage? It is a paid trip though a discounted fare for premium economy |

Presumably this is a UA-marketed flight; on AC, R class is Business. It should post as N class and earn 125% PQM.

Thank you both. i'll give it a shot.

Oof. How is it that a domestic "Comfort" fare books in to T and L class (YYZ-YYC)? I paid $100+ more each direction for the Comfort versus Standard and somehow Air Canada still classifies this as "deep discount domestic Economy" with other *A partners. AC*AP gives 115%, UA*MP gives 25%.
As a UA*G I should have just booked Standard. FML. :( |

Eventually, the mileage programs will all be updated to credit based upon the fare family instead of the fare class, but until then, you’re going to have this weirdness. |

Yeah, novice move, I know. I figured if AC was giving 115% UA would give something better than 25%...

Just to confirm, people who've been crediting non-016 AC flights to UA, it's been purely based on fare class?
Have there been any reports of AC re-classifying the fare class to match the equivalent earning because of branded fares? Ie. Standard M domestic AC would code as T when crediting to UA in order to only award 25%? I see there's a report a little while back in this thread of Flex G being remapped to T, but that seems like it was an AC mistake? |
I booked a trip a few months ago on AC site, a multi city itin at the "flex" level
tickets were in either L class or W Low and behold after I get back I notice all the flights credited to UA as full 100% PQM "Q" class. I have no idea how that happened as Q was not in any booking emails or anything, super weird, the oddness that is AC crediting to UA continues... |

I think AC already does this for some of the other FFPs (ie TK?) |
