Those short commuter hops on United, Ted or regional affiliates will no longer deposit 500 miles into your Mileage Plus account. Here's the latest salvo from the self-proclaimed "Friendly Skies" airline:
"To ensure that Mileage Plus miles earned toward elite status and award
travel on United are aligned with actual miles flown, we are revising our base
accrual policy. Beginning July 1, 2008, for flights of less than 500 miles,
passengers will earn redeemable miles equal to the actual miles flown. Elite
Qualifying Miles (EQM) will also be awarded based on actual miles. Elite
Qualifying Segments (EQS) are not affected.
"This new mileage accrual structure will apply to travel on or after July
1, 2008, regardless of when the travel was ticketed. Flights of less than 500
miles flown on or before June 30, 2008, will accrue Mileage Plus miles under the
previous policy of a minimum mileage accrual per individual segment flown."
Should you want "complete details," you can read them here. Interestingly, while United launched the policy of charging most passengers $25 extra for a second checked bag, US Airways was the first to tighten its frequent flyer mileage credits for short flights.
