zero DEQM possible?
 
I have accrued about 30,000 EQMs since jan; almost all of them are on domestic W,V,S, T & Q classes; is it possible that I would get zero DEQM from this?

If you registered for the promotion and flew between the dates, and it was on UA metal, then you should get DEQM.

And make sure you also registered for the ticketing exemption if you had ticketed everything before hand.

Three questions here:

1. Did you register for the promo?

2. Did you fly on eligible DEQM dates (I believe it started on April 15th, and definitely ended on June 15th)?

3. Did you fly on UA metal?

If the answer to even one of these questions is no for your flights, then you wouldn't have earned DEQM. Note number three needs to be fly on UA metal, not book through UA on UA flight numbers, as miles are accumulated based only on the operating carrier.

Also, in addition:

Were the flights booked before the DEQM was announced?

If yes, then you would have needed to register on the phone to have an exception made for those bookings to count. If you did not, you wouldn't have gotten DEQM.

yes

yes

3. Did you fly on UA metal?

yes, exclusively

how do the DEQMs get reported, as a line item on your online account?

They are just added to the total EQMs. No line item entry.

This would be a key element.
