Help in Calcualting UA Miles We'll Earn on US Airways Flights
Do I understand the chart on http://www.united.com/CMS/en-US/mark...spx?ItemId=308 correctly, that for a future trip, booked through US Airways (want to apply all flights to earn United MileagePlus miles, nothing for US):
1) Flying TAM economy Class within Brazil (FOR-GIG-FOR) we'll earn 100% of miles (1350 each way) for United.
2) Flying US Envoy (Biz) Class between GIG and CLT, we'll earn 125% of miles flown.
3) Flying US First Class from CLT to SFO and UA First Class SFO to OGG we'll earn 150% of miles flown.
(We're flying AS from Hawaii back to the mainland).
Have I got this right?
Would have flown UA all the way from GIG or GRU, but it was several hundred dollars more, and wife wanted to try the new US Airbus on the international section.

If you know which fare class(es) you are booked in, you can use this tool to calculate the RDM and EQM: http://www.wandr.me/Tools/Advanced_Trip_Calculator.aspx

Yes, redeemable miles were my primary concern. With the miles I earn I would normally move from Silver to Gold, but the new rule about having to fly 4 UA operated flights in a year may get me.

I just checked my UA account to see if the US flights I took with my GF had posted. Guess what? Not one of the four flights have posted to my account.
Is that why US doesn't let you use mobile boarding passes if you're flying with more than one passenger? At least, I have the paper boarding passes.

?? If you're already Silver, you met the requirement. Perhaps you own the United Club card?

Wow, you're right.

bottom line is you don't need your boarding passes, but after 15 days have passed you can fill out an online form and then wait somemore. The form asks for obscure things like Booking Code (which doesn't appear on my receipt) and Seat Number, which I didn't have since we changed seats at checkin and then did paperless BPs. I finally had to call US and got a wonderful agent who said "is there something going on, I've been getting a lot of these calls."
