Author Topic: Transfer miles between UA and CO + match status (Read 13827 times)

As UA insider posted here,

1. Transfer redeemable miles between your OnePass and Mileage Plus accounts. Give it a spin at united.com/transfermymiles or continental.com/transfermymiles (both take you to the same place).
2. Match Elite status and combine Elite earnings for your OnePass and Mileage Plus accounts. For those of you who have Elite Qualification miles and segments/points in both OnePass and Mileage Plus, you can now combine these earnings to earn Elite status, Regional Upgrades and Systemwide Upgrades. Go to united.com/combinemyactivity or continental.com/combinemyactivity for all the details.

Here are a few important things to remember:

*You can transfer miles only once per day, in 1,000-mile increments with a limit of 200,000 miles per transfer.
*You can transfer miles only between accounts in your name.
*If you change your mind, you can wait 24 hours and move the miles back into their original account.
*Transferring miles won't affect your elite status in either program.
*Transferring miles does not consolidate your accounts.

Sure is...here's the rest of the paragraph :
Also, US Airways charges 120,000 for business class and 160,000 for first class and Jet’s service is top notch, thus totally making this redemption opportunity very valuable
.
Thanks for letting us know. Not all the deals here are copy and paste...

wow!

Transfer miles between your United Mileage Plus and Continental OnePass
accounts to redeem for awards.

Next year, United Mileage Plus® and Continental OnePass® will be
combined into a single program. Until then, we've created this process to
make it easy for you to transfer your award miles between Mileage Plus and
OnePass.

Here are a few important things to remember:

*
You can transfer miles only once per day, in 1,000-mile increments
with a limit of 200,000 miles per transfer.
*
You can transfer miles only between accounts in your name.
*
If you change your mind, you can wait 24 hours and move the miles back
into their original account.
*
Transferring miles won't affect your elite status in either program.
*
Transferring miles does not consolidate your accounts.

You can also leave your miles in both accounts. Your accounts will not be
combined until the end of 2011.

Yup, I got the same.
I had a middle initial on my UA account but not on my CO account.
CO OPSC was able to manually transfer and request the status match and they said it should work online soon.

Will United match CO status that was earned by previous status match?

HSS · « **Reply #13 on:** March 07, 2011, 05:59:33 PM »

Somebody I know just bought 3k United miles yesterday from United to cap off any acct to buy a ticket. But now he could just transfer CO or MR to UA and its much cheaper. Does anyone know if there is a way to cancel that purchase from UA? I don't think the bought miles have even posted yet to the UA Acct.

Please PM if u have any good suggestions

Thanks for the help.

If you insist:
"For elite status match, if you hold (Continental) Platinum status but it was not earned based upon EQM, EQS/EQP, you will be at the (United) Premier Executive level."

What if you hold CO Gold status?
