No bonus miles, no bonus status miles, no airport bonus, no LH miles, no nothing!

Mauricio23 · Dec 23, 12, 3:50 am

I flew BCN-FRA-YYZ-EZE last Friday / Saturday (a week ago). BCN-FRA on LH, the rest on AC. A week later, only the AC legs have posted. No elite bonus, no status miles bonus (I was invited and registered), no airport bonus (also registered), and no LH flight. This is beyond annoying, as I am 200 miles short of the 60 K threshold, and will fly the return to YYZ-YvR in five days. As things stand, I will be unable to upgrade because I do not have enough credits without the threshold ones.

Are anybody else's bonus/bonus status miles posting? This is beyond annoying, especially since I had carefully calculated things through (and even just the LH flight posting would have put me over).

Search the forum for LH miles postings. Most likely your LH flights are not eligible for status miles.

Correct, most of the low LH fares no longer earn mileage in other STAR programs even if you booked Tango+. Lots of threads about this since two summers ago when LH cut off many of these fares.

How do I find out my LH booking class? I bought this through a TA, and the only thing my e-ticket lists is "Fare Basis LLWRCT10" for the LH leg.

In any case, this is small potatoes - the big stuff is the AC bonus status miles that are nowhere to be seen.

Fare basis LLWRCT gets 0% mileage on LH. AC 50% status bonus should post this morning or next Sunday.

bonus status miles post on Sunday-Monday overnight sweep not this AM (ie look for them Monday AM)

Plumber · Dec 23, 12, 9:24 am

I had the 50% Bonus Status Miles post is morning( ie Sunday morning) for flights that were credited earlier this week.

only K,E dont earn anywhere...

The OP had L - which like T,S,W earn 100% in UAMP and others.

LH Tango Plus equivalent (S+) earn 100% in UAMP, while only earning 50% in Aeroplan.

Mine have all posted Sunday mornings. Just got the last bunch today at about 9 am.

XTrail · Dec 23, 12, 3:46 pm

Mine just posted while I was on my return - must be the Sunday sweep people talk about

Mauricio23 · Dec 24, 12, 3:33 am

They posted today - but thanks to the LH snafu now I will end the year 60 miles short of 75K. Brilliant.

altitude75k · Dec 24, 12, 3:51 am

I flew on a Tuesday and ALL were posted on Sunday morning as one OP stated before.
Wait for Sunday to pass and check. Mine took 6 days to post.

If your fare is in T class with LH you will get nothing. Thats what happened to me for YYZ-BOM. There are fares listed that get miles, everything not listed gets zero.
