Help with points calc
 
Is someone able to help me calculate the miles/EQMs I will earn as a UA Premier member for the following itinerary?

SYD/SFO - UA business
SFO/FRA - LH business
FRA/BKK - LH business
BKK/SYD - TG business

I'm not sure what I get in the way of miles and EQMs, and which flights qualify. I've done heaps of reading on the UA site and also here but can't figure it out for sure. Thanks in advance.

From my own statements (with 1K having 100% bonus and 2P 25%),
I can confirm and derive for you:
Code:
SYD/SFO  - UA business
  7417 flight miles
 11125 EQM (+50%)
  9271 RDM + 3708 2P bonus
SFO/FRA - LH business
  5699 flight miles
  5699 EQM
  7124 RDM + 1425 2P bonus
FRA/BKK - LH business
  5575 flight miles
  5575 EQM
  6969 RDM (no 2P bonus as no Atlantic route)
BKK/SYD - TG business
  4676 flight miles
  4676 EQM
  5845 RDM
The latter two I derive from my LH statements and the MP rules.
They should still be valid.

Thanks dude!
 
A great help.

A small extra query
 
How come I don't get any bonus on the FRA/BKK and BKK/SYD legs? I know I don't get the UA 25% bonus, but surely I get a 25% cabin bonus for flying business?

Thanks

These numbers are not right. For SYD-SFO, RDM is 11125. For SFO-FRA, both RDM and EQM are 7124. For both FRA-BKK and BKK-SYD, the 25% class-of-service EQM bonus applies.
Code:
route    class  miles  type    COS    Premier
SYD-SFO  UA C    7417    RDM    +25%    +25%
                          EQM    +50%

SFO-FRA  LH C    5699    RDM              +25%
                          EQM    +25%

FRA-BKK  LH C    5575    RDM
                          EQM    +25%

BKK-SYD  TG C    4676    RDM 
                          EQM    +25%

You are right - managed to missed out on the obvious fact that the OP is a 2P.

Yes you do - I now correct the original map for these two errors.

The bonus applies to RDM not EQM if I don't err. Could you please verify
this? It definitely applies to RDM (as I have that on the statement) but I thought
it did not hold for EQM.
