not UA MP PQPs

That's the common appraoch, but I might give a social media agent a query, they may be more likey to change to UA MP than away from UA MP.

Will try that, thanks!

Sorry if this post can be merged into other threads.

I have a MileagePlus account, but I plan to credit most of my UA flights to Air Canada Aeroplan. I see I can add Aeroplan into my MileagePlus profile under other FF programs function, but cannot find an option to direct it to credit my miles to AC rather than to UA.

Please kindly let me know whether it is doable? If not, shall I always purchase UA flights as guest? This is inconvenient because I have to enter my personal information every time.

Thanks a lot in advance!

change it at (OL)CI. Once your MP# is in there it can no longer easy to change it before check-in. You can call or check with social media channels and they can also change it

I just booked an award on UA using their miles. While checking it out it interestingly gave me the option of selecting another FFP despite being signed in to MileagePlus.
I changed it over to AC for both me and my companion. After the reservation was completed, I went to view the booking and my companion had her AC number entered correctly but my FFP section was completely blank (no UA info either). I did have the option at this point of adding a FFP, so I added AC.
Looks like it stuck but I'm not sure if there's any way of checking whether the *G status was recognized properly. Also doesn't look like after this was inputted that there's any option of making any further changes. So while I guess there might be some capability to change the FFP during booking, it gets restricted after that.



This is a flight on LX (Swiss). When checking on their website though, it doesn't look like it's picking up any FFP information at all.

I purchased a mixed LX and UA itin via united.com, ticketed 016. I'm trying to attach my TK Miles & Smiles account number to the reservation, but though it recognized the number, it won't stick.

Any suggestions for fixing other than calling it in to an United agent?

You can do it at an airport UA kiosk or originally at time of booking.

Hi, I just booked an award ticket with my MileagePlus point (flight on united metal). Since I rarely fly with United anymore, I don’t have any status. However, I do have status gold with another Star Alliance member. Is there a way to use my status on that flight?

thanks

At the airport , you can add your *G status. You do have per *A rules access to UCs and +1 bag. Outside of that the benefits are limited -- Board Group 1. No E+ access.
