I apologize if this has already been discussed. I have tried to follow this thread closely and didn't see this specific issue outlined.
If I purchase a flight through US but the flight is on UA metal and I have my MileagePlus number entered into the system, I assume that I will be eligible for the DEQM promotion because the flight is on UA metal even though I booked through US.
Does anyone have experience with this particular issue or would care to clarify?

Correct. The metal is all that matters.

I have to agree. None of mine have posted, and I don't recall any other posters stating they have received these yet. It seems much too early.
CART_Flagman - this may seem painfully obvious, but how do these show up in your account summary?

for those bemoaning all the "lites" out there, this from Scott McCartney in the WSJ yesterday (emphasis added):
"despite the offers, United projects it will have fewer elite-level members next year because of corporate travel cutbacks. 'This will certainly counteract some of the natural decline we're seeing, but it's not going to fully account for it,' said Graham Atkinson, president of United's Mileage Plus frequent-flier program."

mmm... None of my flights from March and early April have DEQM miles posted yet. I am inclined to agree with other that it might be a .bomb posting error in your case.

From T&C's
Elite Qualifying Miles will be credited six to eight weeks after the end of the offer period.
