Terms and Conditions say
"From June 1-30, earn 3,000 United

MileagePlus bonus award miles for every 10,000 IHG

Rewards Club points you exchange"
I calculate this as 12 x 3000 Bonus MileagePlus miles ie 36000 Bonus Mileage Plus Miles
Can someone clarify this for me? Thx
BTw very stressed after had phone stolen yesterday even at Munich airport - my phone is now in Romania I have managed to swipe it remotely but the torture at MUC of trying to report a lost/stolen smartphone let alone request assistance from the useless Lufthansa Service Desk - its pure torture 3 hours of schmelzing only helpful people were a Spanish lounge assistant at MUC SEN Lounge G Gates and a lovely true Bavarian policeman landside DO NOT EXPECT ANY HELP FROM LH OR MUNICH AIRPORT if you have something stolen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Sorry to hear your phone was stolen. It should be 12x2000 base miles + 12x1000 bonus = 36000 total, not 24000+36000 bonus

I transferred 240,000 IHG points and was expecting to get 72,000 United miles.

Took a long time but eventually 48,000 United miles posted into my account, then 24,000 more.

Then a few days after that, I got another 72,000 United miles posted into my account in an apparent duplication error. 144,000 miles!

Then a week later those extra 72,000 miles were removed from my account, and now there's no record of them ever being there.

Easy come, easy go. Should have made an award booking, I guess.

Transferred IHG points to United. The expectation was to receive 24,000, 24,000, 12,000 and the associated bonus. Waited the 6-8 weeks and called and ultimately received the 24,000, 12,000 and the bonus. The bonus is not immediate. Unfortunately I am short the first 24,000 and the associated bonus. I have called once after the 6-8 weeks and once after the 24,000 did not post. Obviously not a happy camper. Unacceptable level of incompetence. The phone representative was well aware of the issue.
