Does TED earn e-upgrades
With the usual apologies for not finding this using the (non-existant) search function:
I've got my first TED flight this week (R/T IAD-LAS). Does it earn 500-mile e-upgrades? If it makes any difference, my flights have a UA # (not Ted???). Is my assumption that I at least get the 100% mileage bonus as a 1P correct?
At least it isn't the one-stop America West routing either very early or very late!

Yes, you will earn the 500-mile e-upgrades as well as your 100% mileage bonus for being 1P/1K/UGS. All Ted flights have UA flight numbers. At the moment I believe the flight range is UA 1400-1599 and officially these flights are "operated by Ted for United" even though Ted doesn't have its own operating certificate and is not a separate airline. That is why Ted flights are treated as UA flights and not codeshare.

Yepola!
I did a MR last year that was a mixed ted/ua itin and it put me over 1K, the CR-1's and more e500s.

Ted'll let you earn them...He just won't let you spend them!
