Yes, they're posting for me. What I've noticed is that the regular miles will post very early morning two calendar days after the flight (e.g., on a Wednesday for a Monday flight), and the jumpstart miles post in the evening of that day.

The terms and conditions say you need to book and fly by June 15th. What if I have a trip that starts on or before June 15th but the return is after. Will that give me double miles for the segments before June 15th or does the entire trip have to be within the time window?

Any help is appreciated.

If it works like last year's double miles, the flights that depart the 16th or later won't earn double miles.

That's the way it just worked for me -- actually I think I got credit for double miles I didn't deserve. Booked a work trip through our online travel service the day before the offer came out/day I signed up but still got the Jump Start credit.

OK, they just posted here for all four segments.

Good stuff. 2 day post time.

Noticed about same pattern with my flights.

SEA-PHX-TPA-PHX-SEA same-day tomorrow to take advantage of promo.

Should be interesting.

I flew 5300 BIS miles BWI-BOI on Saturday 5-1, 2 RJ segments & 4 mainline (including a new A321). Got a schedule critical standby for an earlier flight, leisurely made two short connections, scored all 4 FC upgrades in good seats, and bonus miles posted 5-3, 2 days after the flights. It was a nice day for flying, no airport issues, clean planes, mostly full planes, freindly crews, and above average service on all 4 FC segments.

For some reason my miles are not posting - not regular, not double. I'm not getting upgrade emails either. I've called repeatedly and it's a hassle to get the credits. Anybody else having this problem?

Also I was told that when I'm traveling with my spouse - who also is gold - as long as our tickets are connected we won't get upgraded. Any information on this? Thanks.

How do you sign up for this promo? I did not get any emails about it!

United flight number?
 

Seems clear that flights on United metal with US flight numbers wont qualify. I'm finding trips much cheaper booked through United that fly as US codeshares -- US metal with a United flight number. Anyone with experience on one of these able to say if it does or doesn't qualify?

I'm doing about the same but criss/cross on Saturday - BOS-PHX-OAK and back for $270 and about the exact same number of miles. Happily upgrades cleared on all segments.

It's my understanding that a lot of travel agencies ticket flights the day after booking - which may well have worked in your favor here.

I'm wondering the same thing... If I book a UN ticket, do I get double preferred miles on US Metal?

Why not buy up or ask for an exception.. 87 miles can't be that much.

Well, nobody has answered, but I booked it. Flying 2 segments ona flight booked with UA flight numbers on US metal. We'll see. Right now the booking is so messed up that I cant even get my US FF number on them, so I'm not hopeful. Flying May 30-June 6, so we'll know in a while, but not really in time to do anything about it if it fails.

Would still love to know if anyone else has experience with this -- do UA flight numbers on US metal count for double EQMs?

Where did you book this - UA.bomb or Orbitz/Expedia? Curious why you couldn't get your US FF# in the reservation.

If you get your US FF# in there, I would guess you'll probably get DPQM's on the US segments. I base this on the fact that preferred upgrades work when booking codeshares on US metal (even though the website says that shouldn't happen). I'm guessing their backend code isn't developed enough to realize you didn't book it with a US flight number and won't know the difference.

I was under the impression anything on US metal should count for double EQMs (and be eligible for preferred benefits/upgrades) regardless of where it was booked.

It was a vacation routing, open jaw, from PVD to JAC and back BZN to PVD. The outbound is 2 US flights ticketed as UA, connecting to a Frontier (?YX/F9 I think it is) flight DEN-JAC; the return is all UA metal. Ticketing all on UA was way more expensive, so I had to go off the main site. Orbitz had it, but I get a 4% discount through priceline (through Bank Of America's website click through called "add it up"). I've used Add it up/priceline before and its been fine, but I think the mix of UA and Frontier got it goofed up. So it has my US FF number, but lists it as a UA FF number. I've got the US/UA part fixed; the frontier thing remains a mess. I've gotten my upgrades with this before, but only when booking all on one airline, so hopefuly the DEQM will work as well.

Now I'm just hoping that they dont foul up interlining my bags from US to YX at DEN.

So if I book the PHL-MUC flight that leaves on the 15th and arrives on the 16th, I should get double miles for that segment?

I have a work trip and since its a good chunk of miles, I can leave early.... always wanted to see MUC!

Any PHX MR's?
 

Is anyone doing a PHX MR for this promotion in the next week or 10 days? I have some unexpected time off work and can't find any decent fares, wondering about routes that might be attractive.

You have to call United and ask them to put your US number in the reservation as the FF number for points earning.
It will then print out your US number when you check in.
Also I thought it had to be bought with the US mastercard to qualify?

US and UA have been helpful -- I've got my US number on both. Now just hoping for an upgrade since cant tell if priceline really booked this as a UA codeshare on US metal or what. Now if only I could get YX to let me pick a seat and be sure I could check in online.

As far as the mastercard, I dont have one and my other flights this month have posted the DEQM bonus -- it even doubles the 500 mile minimum, not actual miles flown.

I've been looking to do a MR from PHL. I've found nothing particularly cheap from this hub either. Well, at least I'm going to LAX this weekend to visit friends. I booked it several weeks ago and it was $339 a.i., which isn't bad for a nonstop to LAX (plus, I'm ug'd to F on the departing flight ^) for a short vacation while also earning double PQM's.

If I had the time and I was exiting PHX I would do a MR to BDA. I found some nice options for around $452 a/i.

They have PHX-DEN-PHL-BDA routings or you could even route through BOS-PHL but that seemed a bit more expensive.

PHX-DEN-PHL-BDA maps out at around 2945 miles so round trip and then double miles would be 11780. I am sure that is not the best option but I would spend two to three nights in BDA and enjoy myself :)

Yes. I've taken many LAX-PHL redeyes and the miles are given for the date of the departure, not the arrival.

I just booked a PHL-PHX-SJC rt for my gf and me, 6/12-6/15. Since I had a companion certificate to burn, the price came to $279/each a.i. -- a nice deal for a getaway to the Bay Area with 10,760 PQM's each to boot. Not a true MR by any means, of course.

Hello-can't seem to find the exact answer on here for this question so thought I'd post.

I have to travel to Tokyo for work next week for ten days (over the last part of the promo). I am planning to fly:

DCA-PHL-SFO (all on US metal) and then SFO-NRT on UA. Same for the return.
My question is will my miles on the SFO-NRT leg count for this promo even though it's on a UA flight? I ask because when I looked on the Star Alliance webpage it reads US members get 100 percent of miles (whereas ANA was only going to give me 70 percent). What do you think?

Thanks in advance!

Consensus seems to be that regardles sof how booked, flights on US metal get the promo. T+C do say that it has to be on US metal, they dont say if you have to book it that way. So, UA flight # on US metal, you're in. US flight number on UA metal, you're out.

There were 2 promo's back to back. The MC one was supposed to be unly the TATL to select cities (but hubby got double on all segs). The second was a US Air promo where all segs qualified. They did overlap.

Double Miles and Try Preferred
 

Does the double mileage also count towards the trial preferred?

I have a dca-clt-sfo-phx-yvr-phx-dca itinerary (class A) next week and that alone would get to CP if so. I guess if not, it would almost get me to Platinum in any event.
