For both quarters this year I flew 10K in the first week of the month and was rewarded with the quarterly CR1 distribution in that same month.

How long does it take for the 75K CR1s to post?

p.s. Also are all of you posting CR1s for 10K/Q BIS miles using MP as your primary account? Cuz I have about 20K BIS miles in my OnePass acct in Q2 already and haven't seen any CR1s (I matched to UA 1K when the tool was announced)

You have to credit to MP to get those CR-1s, and you have to have been a 1K last year.

I read through this and the other CR-1 earning thread - still can't conclusively tell if CO miles are counting towards the 10K/quarter for those of us grandfathered in. Does anyone have specific evidence for or against this?

Thanks.

WineCountryUA

there have been specific postings in both threads of people having had earning on CO count to 10K BIS / quarter.

Additionally UA Insider has confirmed it

1KChinito

Good to know. Thanks for the info. I try to fly on UA almost exclusively. Next year, depends on the merged program, it may be a different paradigm.

They posted immediately once my match to 75k was done from combo eqm on CO and UA. They actually posted a couple of days before I was matched to plat on CO.

Crossed the mark on 5/8... still none.

This is what I have done in past years to make sure that CR1's would post in the latest month possible. It only works without risk of losing an upgrade when you are already confirmed in First for all of your flight segments. Just go to a RCC or Customer Service counter before your first flight and have them remove your MP number from the reservation. The excuse I would use was that I was thinking about crediting the miles to a partner airline. If they asked for the FF number I said I couldn't remember it and would add it later or send in the boarding passes for credit. It worked great for a couple of years until some of the promotions like DEQM started requiring your MP number to be in the reservation from the start. When I wanted the miles to post that would trigger the CR1"s to post I just called MP and said that the miles didn't post for one or more of my latest trips. It is harder to do this now that upgrades are not clearing early like they used to. My Q2 CR1's posted on the 23rd. The flight that put me over 10K for the quarter was on the 18th. Of course I was hoping for the 2nd Saturday in June posting but there seems to be no set time for CR1's to post any more.

On the 16th I received 2 CR1s for crossing the mark on 5/10. Was there a delay in your mileage credit?

Just heard back from 1KVoice... here's the reason why.

UA/CO BIS count toward the 75k, 100k, 125k (etc) marks.

Only UA BIS count toward the 10k per quarter CR-1s.

dsquared37

This says they are running both the old and new CR1 programs separately and concurrently. Interesting.

Edit: If only they decide to do the same with with the Million Miler program.

UA-NYC

OK, so we've gone from people saying CO miles count towards the 10K/quarter AND UA Insider "confirming" it...to now 1KVoice says it's only UA metal.

REALLY wish we could get a definitive answer...

WineCountryUA

That has been know for a long time --******
that disagrees with this
******
I think we have a mistaken agent (not the first time an 1KVoice message has been mistaken) ... since multiple people have reported receiving CR1 of both kinds based on both UA & CO activity
******
May just be a typo, but it is EQMs and not BIS for these and the EQMS can be from any source -- also suggesting the agent was uninformed.

bmvaughn

The answer I received from the agent jives with my experience.

My experience shows that the agent was correct and UA Insider was incorrect.
