We are aware that there are some rare instances, where international surcharge is being excluding from the display of award miles and PQD when viewing your upcoming reservation on United.com. We expect to have the earnings display corrected shortly. Please rest assured that the final earnings reflected in your Account summary once you have flown will include the surcharge.

-UA Insider
NOTE: The overwhelming consensus is that preflight PQD/PQM/RDM information on an itinerary is frequently wrong for inexplicable reasons, but it being wrong on the itinerary has no bearing on whether correct PQD/PQM/RDM will post to your MP account after flying a segment. So don't worry if things look wrong pre-flight; it is only necessary to contact MP if post-flight posting is incorrect.

Did you fly on UA or a Partner?

I dont think, that they have a contract - they usually have a travel solution partner, maybe these guys have some agreements. Actually, I received PQM and 50% award miles for these flights, but no PQD.

@TomMM
It were UA-flights.

Sounds like a BULK ticket
Certain specialty tickets, including but not limited to unpublished, consolidator/bulk, group, tour and opaque fares, do not earn PQD
Do you have access to the ereceipt? Does the word BULK appear where the fare normally shows?

Just to clarify -- you have flown this reservation and the PQMs/RDMs have posted but no PQDs?

Was this an international flight?
Was it an UA ticlet (ticket number starts with 016xxxxxxxxxx)?

Use the website to request credit. If it is denied they will tell you why.

BULK, maybe - I opened a receipt request.
Yes, i have flown it, the PQM/s/RDMs are posted, it were international flights with 016 numbers.
@TomMM
I think, i will contact them after receiving the e-receipt to clarify it. I already requested credit, because I forgot to show my MA+ number at the check-in,

Thank you very much at this time! If i counted it correctly, with my oncoming flight (last flight this year) i shall land at 2.918 PQD-$ and around 40.000 PQM. Would be a pitty to be so close to the status and not getting it.

update 29-Nov-2017:
It was a BULK ticket, so no PQD to earn, but I bought some E+-seats and hit silver for first time with 3.050$

Yes, you or your company can choose to buy tickets that are not PQD eligible.

No, you're not likely to get complimentary status.

LX Flight (purchased on UA) shows no UA Mileage Accrual

Take a look at this accrual table:

Name:  LAX-NBO.jpg
Views: 855
Size:  722.5 KB

One LX segment on an upcoming United shows "Ineligible to accrue mileage or Premier qualifying credit".

Purchased on the UA website and issued on 016 ticket stock
All Z Class

I called United twice and heard this:

You will get credit, it's just a software glitch
and
It's a system issue and you are good to go for all segments.

Anyone else seen this before and have you had issues getting segment credit after-the-fact?

Thanks

lots of errors like this. On the website, it might switch back to earning, go back to show ineligible, or some wrong number. Even with this, my flights have all accrued properly. Agent is almost surely correct that it’s a glitch, unless it’s truly booked in a non-earning class (think K and L don’t earn on LX).

You should be eligible for credit in the end - this is a systems issue caused by LX assigning some of their global fleet to their LZ subsidiary (IIRC for complicated union rule evasion reasons). LZ is still mis-coded in many databases as either Belle Air (2005) or Balkan-Bulgarian Airlines (1947-2002), but it is now Swiss Global Air Lines.

It should auto-credit, worst case you'll have to call and sort it out.

E, K, L, T are mileage on LX. Been some issues with Swiss Global Air (LZ) properly crediting but they should.

SWISS International Airlines flight numbers LX 8000 – 8499 are operated by Edelweiss Air and post according to WK rules. Note some WK are non-mileage earning.

I just booked a rather... complex... itinerary online. 7 flights, 6 UA/UX operated and 1 ANA. None of the receipt, app, nor website are showing any accrual information. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, as I track all this information myself, but since the itinerary spans into next year, I need to know how many PQD will count in 2017, so I can figure out how much I need to spend on my last (unbooked) trip of the year to make 1K. Does anyone have any experience with this / know how to force the site to show the accruals? Thanks!

I had this issue before on a LAX-LHR roundtrip. I screenshoted how much the ticket was when it charged my credit card (and how much taxes were, etc).

Give UA a call. An agent should be able to tell you. I've never had any luck getting the website to give up that information when it doesn't want to.

Look at the future flights tab on your mystatus page. This has been accurate for me.

Mine omits my last trip of the year, which is also an out-in-2017, back-in-2018 trip. Several other people saw the same thing on the thread discussing the feature -- trips that span the New Year get left off entirely. So, sadly, this isn't likely to help.
