UA: Add FF Number to Mileage Ticket booked from someone else's account?
« on: August 20, 2013, 03:02:28 PM »
Is it possible to add one's frequent flyer number to a ticket that was booked via a 3rd party's UA account?

Normally you don't earn miles on redemptions.

I had them tell me that, too... and then when I checked the ticket, I was far from "set". >:(

For best results, be prepared to provide the number you want at the airport.

+1 and then be prepared to argue about being added to the CPU list because you're a cardholder.

I carry around the Club card booklet from the lounge just to prove to them that they should add me to the CPU list when it doesn't happen automatically on an award.
