Miles for Endorsed AA Flight?
Flew SFO-ORD last week on United after my American flight was delayed 3 hours. AA endorsed the ticket over to United. I pulled up the reservation on my United iOS application, purchased an upgrade to an exit row aisle seat and used the Passbook boarding pass.
This has happened to me about half a dozen times over the last two years and I've always been awarded United flight credit, but this time not. The iOS boarding pass does not provide you a United ticket number to request retroactive mileage credit. I received an American receipt, but the ticket number referenced is my original American ticket number -001, not -016.
Any suggestions on next steps?

A rebooking at the end of 2013 on UA > AA put me into full Y. Not guaranteed, but it seems to happen more often than not.
@OP: Don't forget to claim the miles for the AA flight, if you've not already done so.
