Earning miles
Earn Mileage Plus miles on all qualifying TAM flights1, except as noted in the chart below. You’ll earn miles according to the booking class that you purchase.
TAM became the newest member of the Star Alliance on May 13, 2010. As of that date, the miles you earn on TAM qualify toward Mileage Plus elite status.
It’s easy to earn miles for your flight. Simply provide your Mileage Plus number when you make your reservation, and make sure that it appears on your boarding pass at check-in.
Save your boarding pass until flight miles have been credited to your account. If your miles haven’t been credited within three weeks, you may request credit online within 12 months of your travel date.

Exceptions
If you purchase a ticket on a flight that is marketed by TAM but operated by another airline (known as a code-share flight), the operating airline determines how many miles you earn for your flight.
Note that the booking class that appears on your ticket may differ from the booking class that the operating airline uses to determine flight miles earned.
