Consolidated "How Long for USAir Segments to Post on UA?" Thread [Merged]
Hey Everyone,
First of all, I tried to search for this, but the words US and Air are too short for the search engine. If you can think of a search string to find this in a previous thread, I'm all ears.
Unfortunately, it looks like I may need to be on a US Air-operated transcon in the near future.
About how long does it usually take for these miles to post? (Just to clarify, there is nothing HP about this flight).
Thanks!

Usually whenever fly a US flight, the miles are credited into my MP account within 3-4 days.

I have had ocassions where US miles did not post, and I had to write MP. Be sure to hang on to your boarding pass stubs in case the miles do not post, because you would need to send them in as proof.

I flew five US transcons under my MP# in 2005, and they all posted quickly.
That said, the advice to always keep your boarding pass stubs is sound.

My recent USAir flight from EWR to MIA posted in 3 days. My EWR to PHX flight partially posted and I had to send in boarding passes. The portion that posted did not count towards my status and EQMs. A United rep told me the account will be sweeped and it will eventually post. The portion that did post was on former America West.
How and when you get your miles depend on if it is on original USAirways flights or former America West flights.

My experience has been, an about 10 or so US Air flights, that they either post within 3-4 days (8 times) or they never do and you have to contact the MP desk and send in your boarding pass (1 time) or they see the res in the system and just credit you the segment (1 time).

I flew US BWI-PIT-BDL on Tuesday and the miles posted on Friday. That's faster than some UA flights I've taken.

I flew ROC - BOS this past Monday and the miles were in my UA account on Tuesday... I flew BOS-LGA-ROC on Tuesday and they were in my account on Wednesday.
Very quickly for me... and that has always been my experience.

In fact they have yet to show up in my MP account, or in my SO's account either.
I'll give them another week before I mail out the original BPs and receipts for retroactive credit. This time, I'll make sure to make copies of them first.

MP miles on USAir - how long to post?
I flew to New Orleans in Feb.on USAir, returning Feb. 16. My MP miles have not yet posted. Is this normal? How long should I wait before I contact USAir? And, who should I contact to ask about this?
Thanks much!
Karen
Thanks much!

This is abnormal. Miles from US usually post within a week at most. Call UA Mileage Plus to sort out the issue, and be prepared to mail your boarding pass stubs as proof of your having taken the flights.
