THANKS NETZIH!!

I am still looking for data points as to whether people skipping the flight to YYZ will get partner credit. I believe the earliest flights available in this deal were in November (although if I'm wrong and people were already able to take some of those flights, please correct me), so I assume we'll have to wait until mid-to-late November for the brave individuals who chance it to educate the rest of us.

1) Don't credit your miles to United. There have been many reports of United miles being clawed!

What's nasty about it?

Do you send such emails to your customers?

It's business.

Not "nasty", but you can see through this email. I see that they are extremely peeved.
Took them so long to catch it? To make a policy?

There is something called business etiquette.... It probably could have been written to come across nicer.... It seems like they are saying outright we know what you want to do, and think about it again!! IMO

The restrictions in bullet points are obvious, but this one looks added

"Also, If you don't fly on all of the flights you booked, you will not earn miles for any of your flights."

As far as I can see it's NOT in their contract. Anyone else know anything about this?

Also, the likelihood that that'll end up being enforced is, I imagine, close to nil. But I guess we'll see.

Besides for not getting miles (which I don't care about) Is there any reason not to fly the flight.  I only plan to not fly the last leg (PHL>>YYZ)

Got it too. Certainly seems like they caught on. For most people that might skip the last flight, not sure what US Airways can do about that.

I have an obvious typo on one the passengers flying. I meant saBRina but looks like I wrote saRBina. Anyone think it's an issue?
