Okay, I'm asking this question here because dealing with both United (I'm Premier Executive) and Air New Zealand on this question has been murky at best.

For those of you who are Star Alliance (on in my case, UA PE), when you have gone to Tahiti on Air Tahiti Nui (a "co-operation/codeshare" partner of Air New Zealand but not United), how have you been able to get those miles credited back to your UA account? Do you have to sign up with Air New Zealand Airpoints in order to get the miles transferred back to United?

Anybody have been successful at this, can you share your experience? Thanks!

Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends ~~M. Angelou~~
