starting jan-1st: Status miles with ANZ and Ansett (also with AC?)
from the LH-home-page (miles&more, specials):
Two "newcomers" joining Star Alliance
Starting on April 1st 1999, Ansett Australia and Air New Zealand, formerly Lufthansa Miles & More partners, will become members of the Star Alliance. From
1st JANUARY 1999 (!!!)
all miles you clock up on flights with these two partners will also be credited on your account as status miles, making it even easier to reach the Lufthansa Frequent Traveller or Senator Status in future, or to extend your Frequent Traveller or Senator Card.
MY COMMENT: I hope that this is also the case for all other ff-programs of the STARAlliance (it seems that LH is first in updating informations online - please wake-up UA and others!).

Hello Mr. Martel,
Thanks for your e-mail.
Effective 1/1/99, qualifying miles accrued on Air New Zealand and Ansett will count toward Premier status for 1999.
Thanks again,

HOW ABOUT AC (and their information politics)?

Air Canada replied to me today and they also will start Jan 1.
In response to your concerns, Air New Zealand and Ansett Airlines will become full Star Alliance Partners as of March 1999. Although any flights taken with either one of the airlines as of January 1, 1999 will accumulate as Qualifying Mileage for your year 2000 status. Hope this clears up any queries you had.
Thank You
