Getting mileage from US Air
I've been engaged in never-ending exchanges (per e-mail and snail-
mail) with the US Air Dividend Miles department re. 500 miles I flew on United last winter and want credited to my DM account. I mailed them the original boarding card, and the "Travel Document" which I got from Orbitz upon purchasing my ticket through that company. The "Travel Document" specifies the itinerary, record locator, price and E- ticked number but not the fare class (only saying 'economy'). US Air wants a receipt specifying the fare class. I have not received anything like that. What do you think I am supposed to do? It's not about those stupid 500 miles, but for the future, how to recover due mileage when buying an E-ticket through Orbitz or similar agency. Thanks, jrk |

I as once asked for an original full receipt from the travel agent as the boarding cards were not enough. I didn't bother as I found out the flights did not qualify because it was a different operating airline (you'd think they could have told me that from the boarding cards). I also think it is ridiculous.. but rules for air miles clubs make pensions look simple. PS just checked on my self-printed boarding pass from Expedia for BA and the class is given only as 'Euro traveller' which might not be enough. Not sure if that isn't another reason to prefer 'real' boarding cards. Thanks, jrk |

With the E-ticket receipts that are mailed to you, some do and some don't. Orbitz does not. In fact, it's darn difficult to find the fare class of the ticket you are going to buy from them. It's hidden somewhere in the fare regulations and penalties. And it does _not_ show on the receipt, or "Travel document" as they call it. Hard to claim the miles afterwards, if they are not awarded automatically, as was my case. Best, jrk |
