Lifetime Mileage Credit Not Posting for Maxed-Out RDM Tix?

I just noticed that on a recent very expensive ($16K) IAH-EWR-DEL-FRA-IAH fare, where the FRA-IAH (UA) leg was zeroed out due to the 75K mileage cap, I was also not credited with lifetime mileage credit for that segment. I assume that's an error? Now I wonder if I've been missing out on other lifetime mileage credit for zeroed-out segments, without realizing it.

Did you get PQM? (Yes, it would be an error.)

I'd call in to Mileage Plus and ask them to have a lk at your account. This should be pretty easy to find and to fix.

How could you earn PQM on flights that don't earn RDM?

Because PQM is still based on trip mileage but RDM is now based on ticket cost?

I have many zero out segments due to the 75K Cap, but my lifetime BIS number has always been correct. I have prepare a spreadsheet tracking all my flights and BIS milestones.

Please report back how that got resolved. I never check my LT count but I have had plenty of maxed out tickets and would hate if that affected LT miles.

I never thought of that problem either - and I don't keep track.
Maybe I should (half way to second MM)?

Does anyone have a clever spreadsheet ? That would be helpful
