Does using a voucher to partially pay nullify miles?

Couldn't find the answer to this searching, but does anyone know if I use the $50 coupon from United (received from the Mileage Plus credit card) to help pay for a $1000 ticket, whether I still get miles for that flight, or does using the coupon nullify that?

There should be T&Cs on the voucher that explains its limitations. In my experience, most $$ vouchers DO allow for mileage accrual, which is why many people opted for $$ Travel Credits rather than the standard DBC Free when they were VDBing from a flight. The dollar amount travel credits allowed for mileage accrual, but the DBC Free (which was just a generic RT within certain booking classes) did not allow for mileage accrual.

YES, you will still get full miles. The $$ off coupon will have no impact on your earnings in any manner.

Ditto what has been said...

Even the largest E-certificates allow miles.

Well true, however if you are paying by MP CC, you will get a reduced number of miles, and if purchasing on UAL.com, you'll get a reduced number of EQMs (by 50) as far as CC earnings go.

What is FT for, if it isn't to pick nits?
