Change the program of missing miles

I had a flight on BD last month and used my UA account for the miles. I forget the booking code, but I remember looking and seeing that it earned 100% on UA. Since that flight, I decided to concentrate my mileage earning on US instead of UA. Since the miles have not been credited yet, can I get them credited to US instead?

Thanks

Depends on whether the miles did in fact go to UA or not. If they truly are missing, you can probably just file a missing mileage request on usairways.com, but otherwise there may not be a whole lot you can do.

Different FF programs, different accrual rates ... please be careful.

Some BD fares that earn 100% on UA MP only earn 50% or less on US DM ... e.g.

1) 100% on UA but only 50% on US - E, G, N, O, Q, S, T, V, W

2) 100% on UA but 0% (zero) on US - A, K, L

I am not sure the booking code. The "Fare Basis" is KSOWBMI. Anybody know what the booking code is? I assume it is K, S, O, or W, so I guess I'll leave it with UA.

The booking code is typically the first letter of the fare basis shown, i.e. K

Yes, better to accrue to UA (100% vs. 0%)
