note that despite the name, UAV is not owned by United, they are just a travel agency that licenses out the UA names and sells UA fares only/primarily (there may be some partner flights available). |
I have some upcoming flights in Europe and crediting to United seems like a decent option - especially since LH didn't reduce qualification requirements at all.
Did United waive the 4 UA flight requirement for 2021? Or otherwise, is there any exemption to the rule for non-US based members? |

Seems to me whatever programming they did for this was not done correctly or done randomly. I have had a US-based address again as my primary since about 2015 (it might have ben 2016), but still have a Canadian address on my account from a couple of years prior to that - I somehow got the 4-segment waiver, including an email to let me know. My wife, who made changes at the same time, and also still had the Canadian address on file, but not as primary, didn't receive the waiver. Not sure why I got it and she didn't (to be clear - neither of us should have). |

True but they are giving double status miles for LH flights.

Thanks for the quick responses and inputs everyone.
Seems like I missed the waiver since I was too lazy to update my address even though I left the US 2 years ago. Oops I guess. I expect most of my flying to be shorthaul in Europe and unless you get to expensive booking classes, you barely get any miles. With 35k status miles needed even for lowest status... It's a lot of miles. 30 segments isn't actually that hard to do but the few miles that you get along the way are kinda useless. I was at 15 segments and 8k status miles before COVID last year. United's award chart seemed a better value proposition for me (intra-Europe with little competition and w/o LCCs) due to significantly lower both taxes and mileage requirements. |
Chase UR -> Copa -> United Miles Question
I had booked SFO-PTY-LIM-PTY-SFO on Copa via the Chase UR portal, and crediting miles to my United account. Copa just rescheduled one of the return flights so that the connection time in PTY would be negative 4 minutes (brilliant, I know). I convinced Copa to rebook me on United metal (via IAH) later in the day instead, and have confirmed the flight and seats. Does anybody know how would these miles will be credited? My flight is on Copa ticket stock, but United metal, and there's no codeshare with this United flight, so I have no clue what would happen? Any advice is appreciated!

UA metal segments will credit according to the allocated fare, unless you have a BULK ticket.
