Do you get EQM miles when you fly on an award ticket bij UA, found that you don't get redeemable miles, but how about for your staus

JettaTurbo May 10, 2007 9:22 pm
I don't believe you earn any miles on award travel, unless you charge taxes to an MP Visa.

Exactly. "You'll Get Nothing And Like It!"

Another concurrence of "no"

As far as I know, the only program of any type that gives you credit for award business is HHonors (if you use an award for a hotel stay, you still get credit for a stay, although obviously no points except for whatever $$$ you spend and charge to the room).

Even then, I don't believe you get EQM, because you're not charging travel.

There is one caveat to the unqualified "no": Sometimes, because of irrops, a pax is rebooked into a class other than NC, XF, etc. In such a case, you would get both EQMs and RDMs. But it's a mistake and shouldn't happen under normal circumstances.

It may help get you EQM's in a somehwat indirect way. If you have an MP Plat card and nearing the $35K in annual spending on it, charging the taxes may just push you over that limit and you'll get your 5K EQM's. (I know, that's a technicality ... but it's true.)

I do think it would be in UA's interest to give EQM on standard awards--no RDM, nothing at all on saver awards, though. It might be a factor in encouraging a few more standard award redemptions over saver.

Do they not? Never done it, but I was under the impression that standard awards booked into revenue fare classes.

UAPremierGuy May 11, 2007 6:16 pm
Nope. Even standard awards do not earn mileage.

Wouldn't you be at risk of de1kfication upon MP audit this way?

It is possible to negotiate full fare as a term of a bump or what not. UA typically does not audit accounts over such petty things.

Welcome to Flyertalk, OP!:) ^

Are we an expert in audits? You could never guarantee it.
I say if you don't do the crime you won't do the time, cover your butt.
UA is full of petty things :D

To be honest, I can't think of anything at UA that is guaranteed.:D Not sure what this has to do with a crime and doing the time, though...
