The re-routed flight segment qualified for double PQM 
I was shocked to see it pop up in my account today.

Dividend Miles Multiplier.... with the Double Miles being in effect, is the double miles then further doubled or tripled ?

Example:
CP flying one way PHX-LAS and paying for triple miles.
500 PQM Base miles + 500 CP Bonus miles = 1000 x Triple Multiplier = 3000 + 500 Double Preferred bonus = 3500 total.
Only 1000 of those are preferred qualifying, of course.

Has anyone tried calling their preferred desk asking to be reticketed or ...in order to qualify for the promo on flights they have already booked?
Was thinking about giving it a shot today, but if other FF's have tried without success, I wouldn't bother.
Thanks

I would imagine you could cancel your flight and then rebook and you would get the double miles, I just didn't want to do that because my flight is Saturday to LHR and with all of the volcano issues, if I canceled, it's likely I wouldn't get a seat again.

Big metal on the water legs, so maximized chances for upgrades.

Makes me wonder how long I should wait before booking my September TATL flight that I need.... as well as a couple more coming up in October, November. Book early, book late?

The CR just sort of laughed when she noticed and then commented on the fact that I'd booked in early March. Oh well....
What if you canceled your ticket and bought another on the same flight? Don't you keep the unused value, to be used toward another ticket, minus a change fee when you book the new ticket?
Could that be the workaround?

It sort of makes the mastercard promo obsolete....no?
If you're registered for both promos, and you book one of the routes eligible for the mastercard bonus with a normal mastercard, it seems possible that US would only give you Double RDM, and could withhold the Double EQM....
EDIT: Interestingly, the mastercard offer's T&C's does not say anything about not being eligible for combining with other offers.
Could one get TEQM??? (QRDM for CPs)

Just booked PHX-MAD. Not a fantastic price, but not horrible either. I was a bit paranoid about the volcano, so MAD should still be safe, if things go sour again. If anyone is interested, shoot me a PM.
