United lifetime miles (Million Miler) and code shares

United lifetime miles (Million Miler) and code shares

Do United code share flights count towards lifetime miles (Million Miler status)? For example, I book a Lufthansa-operated flight under a United code share flight number. Will my lifetime miles increase? I tried reading the Million Miler fine print, but couldn’t find anything. Thanks!

[URL=’https://www.united.com/web/en-US/content/account/lifetime.aspx’]On United’s website regarding their MillionMiler program:[/URL]

[SIZE=5][B]Lifetime Premier status[/B][/SIZE]
The Million Miler program grants lifetime Premier status to all qualifying members, even if they fly less in the future. [B][I]Lifetime miles are earned based on the flight distance ([URL=’https://www.united.com/web/en-US/content/account/lifetime.aspx#fn_one’]Footnote*[/URL]) of United- and United Express®-operated flights[/I][/B]. Basic Economy tickets do not earn lifetime flight miles.

(bold italics mine)

So it looks like UA codeshare flights wont work 🙁
