Offer not combinable with other noncombinable offers
 

Clarification sought....

I live with a lawyer, and am weary of double negatives!

Does this phrase, in so many of the promotions, mean "combinable with combinable offers?"

I have been searching for recnt offers that simply say "noncombinable," but I can't find any.

The reason I ask is this... I am wanting to fly: ORD-NRT-HKG and back. There is a US-HKG promotion as well as an ORD-NRT promotion. I qualify for both. Can I receive the bonus for both?

You can't recieve both, but it is not because of combinability.

There offers require buying a fare to NRT, or a fare to HKG. Connecting points do not quailfy.

Even if your fare breaks in NRT, then you'll get the NRT bonus, but I don't think you'll get HKG since it requires a US-HKG fare, no?

The NRT bonus just requires that you fly on the nonstop segment ORD-NRT, or the other way around. OTOH, the HKG bonus is for travel to HKG.

I think it is still not combinable since they are both not combinable with non-combinable offers.

Not sure about this. The ORD-NRT offer specifies the flight numbers. The US-HKG offer does not (as it is good from any US city).

What qasr said. You simply don't qualify for both offers on the same trip.

Now to answer the general question, the phrase does indeed mean "combinable with other combinable offers" (or it has, IME) ;)

Hmmm, so if I understand, the offers are combinable, but I can only earn the bonus for one or the other. Right?

If they were combinable, why would you not combine them? :confused:

I think they are both noncmbinable with other noncombinable promos, and since they are both not combinable, they can't be combined. Got it? :p

I spoke wth a MP agent last night about non combinable offers. If you have two non combinable offers, than they can not be combined. However,you can combine a non combinable with a combinable offer. Kind of interesting terminology.

But which one would you get recognition for if your flight would qualify for each offer independently? The first one that you signed up for? Or is there something more complicated in play?

I may be wrong, but I believe the most recent one that you signed up for takes precidence. May be totally wrong, though...

How do I make the argument with MP CS?
 

I qualified (with 4 Round trips ) for the 5-10-25 offer, and also flew RT IAD-FRA during the Jan 9 - Mar. 31 promo period. The 15,000 bonus miles posted on a BDL-IAD RT that was a completely different PNR than the IAD-FRA PNR.

I did not get the 10K FRA bonus miles, and the "6-8 weeks post flight" period has now passed. So when I called Mileage Plus CS tonight to track them down I ran into the "this offer is not combinable with other non-combinable offers" denial of service attack - and it's REALLY hard to explain symbolic logic to these folks. Anyone have a good way to demonstrate that neither one of these offers IS a non-combinable offer? Or, to put it another way, that saying "it's non-combinable with non-combinable offers" doesn't, in and of itself, make it non-combinable? I'm stumped.

Or should I just go... no, that's why I left NYC.
