Those miles credited for me as well but the number of miles for the promo was only a fraction of what I spent. I knew about the terms in advance but still a little dissapointing that even promo miles on LH bookings were excluded.
Once again, it is very obvious that Lufthansa hates Lufthansa CC customers and vice versa .

Right. But the whole Credit Card think in Germany is crappy. Compared to the US there no really nice offers exept the expensive premium AMEX cards.
All the Airline-CC have very limited perks compared to their US pendants.
That sucks.

And may I add that Germany in particular seems to abhor foreign credit cards per se, most huge electronics shops and similar I've visited only accept the EC card due to the very high percentage they lose in the process of paying with VISA, Master, AmEx etc. (5% if I'm not mistaken?) and force you to withdraw cash from an ATM, which results in 0 miles... So I feel for German residents

They are widely unaware of benefits and different payment models.

Meanwhile you can pay with CC at nearly all gas stations. There are only few (mostly family owned, small) Hotels which do not accept CC. If restaurants accept it depends on the area and the kind of customers they usually have.

I recently wanted to book a holiday for my parents at a travel agents office. No CC payment possible and no understanding why on earth I want to do that. (she didn't know that there are CC with insurances and FF-Miles...)
I booked somewhere else. (and told her why)

(Sorry to fly offtopic here again, just wanted to express an opinion and voice hopes that somebody from CC company management also prowls this forum )

In Italy the balance of your credit card is taken automatically out of your bank account at the end of each cycle. The compensation is that some merchants are paying fees as high as 7% which is absurd.

T-Mobile Miles...
Now that really hurts.
A month ago my MM Statement read:
31/12/2011 Telekom Rechnung +2,038
Today it reads:
01/02/2012 Telekom Rechnung +31
Jeden Tag eine Meile

LOL, very funny.
