DEQMs post on Friday AM (roughly 7 AM-12 noon Eastern Time Zone) for flights that posted regular RDM/EQMs by mid Thursday that week. So sometimes a Thursday flight is caught, sometimes not. Just need to wait til Friday. (Remember UA only promised posting in 4 to 6 weeks, appears they are easily besting that).

Sure there been a few exceptions but the above seems to reflect the majority experience of those that have posted on FT and matches my personal experience.

Actually in my case it looks like no DEQM ever posted during the period of the promos, and they haven't posted since it ended either ... FWIW The regular EQM/EQS have posted on my account within 48hrs of flight.
Does anyone know of a way to actually see if a given flight has been processed for DEQM ?

(It would be nice for UA to provide a way to view one's registered promos and some kind of "expert" mode display for the mileage plus transactions that would show the details associated with promos etc ...)

You will need to call MP CS to ask for details.

If your DEQMs have not posted, have you seen any positive indication that you were registered for the promotion (MPW049 or MPW059)? (Also remembering on UA metal travel counts.)

Suggest (once this East Coast travel mess clams down) calling MP Customer Support.

This policy does not sit too well with myself and my co-workers, as we deem it discriminatory. So United bids on the Government Contract, gets all that "Government Business" albeit at a somewhat reduced cost, and then United sticks it to us Gov't travelers by denying us the perks afforded to the rest of United travelers, 1K or not.

As a US tax payer, I appreciate you saving all the money you can for me.

I believe most government fares book into full-Y, so you should get 150% EQM all the time. Less than 1.5% of my EQM this year were in full-Y earning 150% EQM.
