At least you have LH service to USA. Typically my personalised promos are fly 3 round trip intercontinental F or C trips. The nearest destination served by LH is 10 hours flying away.
True, and we're back to my primordial question: why do you guys in Oceania credit to M&L to begin with?
As to the nature of promos here's a remark: normally, I fly in business (and upgrade with instruments whenever it is possible ). About three years ago, it just so happened that I flew 3 intercontinental RTs within a 2 months' period in paid F (no A, no O, no nego fares); and while until that time I was receiving the usual promos, I have been getting ...exclusively this ridiculous "1 intercont RT in F for 15,000 miles" promo ever since.

Yet another targeted promo though this one seems to allow anyone to register.
Quote:
Registration is possible during the length of the campaign until November 30, 2008.
Award miles will be credited after each scheduled flight operated by Lufthansa or SWISS, max. for the first 8 segments. Both flights to and from the destination must take place during the promotional period. All eligible flight numbers for the promotion are mentioned below.*
Registration is necessary only once and is valid for the whole promotional period. Only customers who receive this mailing are entitled to register for this promotion.
This offer may not be combined with any other Miles & More offer.
For tickets, please contact your nearest Lufthansa agent or book your flights via our websites at www.lufthansa.com or www.swiss.com.
I only started receiving promos with personal targets recently. So far I received "Would you…" (8k for 2 intercontinental return flights) and "World Trip" (12.5k for 3 intercontinental return flights) offers. If I'm repeating my flying pattern from last year I might have achieved both but it's not going to happen this year, though I have collected about the same number of status miles this year as the last - just enough to achieve/extend my SEN status. I did quite well out of non-targeted promos last year and earlier this year (some of them were actually targeted but I managed to register – thanks to FT ) but these personal targets are just not achievable .

Just received the "Your Choice" promo of 18,000 additional award miles for 56.000 status miles on scheduled flights operated by Lufthansa, SWISS and Austrian Airlines, between 1 October and 30 November, 2008.
were you able to register? while i received the letter today, when trying to register i get an alert that this is a targetted promo:
"Bitte beachten Sie, dass nur persönlich angeschriebene Kunden für die Registrierung an dieser Aktion zugelassen sind. Sollten Sie sich allerdings für unsere E-Mail Kommunikation interessieren, dann klicken Sie auf senden. "
I thought receiving a personal letter was targetted enough!?

huh???
There is a link in the personal letter which brings up a slightly different screen from the one mentioned by txl_SZ with the message 'Thank you for signing up for our "World Trip" promotion!'
In the email I received the link was in the following format (replace XXXXXXXXX with your M&M customer number) which includes the country and language codes.
If you are targeted it seems enough simply to click the link. Even if you are not targeted it looks as if it's possible to register by completing the form, though I don't know what your personal target would be in that case.

Thanks but i was referring to the "Your Choice" promo, which was announced by snail mail in my case......and using that link gets me to the right page, but when i submit my data i am kindly reminded that it is targetted.....

Sorry, I should have read the message more carefully . If you received the promo by snail mail your registration should work, shouldn't it? I had a similar experience with the "Would you..." promo, though I don't know if the registration worked or not since I was only able to manage one intercontinental return in C (rather than 2 intercontinental returns in any class) during the promo period.

Same here, just asked the HON Service to forward this comment towards their IT group... they might have a general issue with this one unless someone can confirm he/she was able to register for this specific one...
[on a sidenote, I was just again stunned about the uselessness of the agents outside DE. Telling not the truth with simple things like checkin! Can hardly believe it ("can not check you in because this is an OS flight and OS has blabla" - "this is an LH oped flight" - "well but it is an OS ticket" - "the ticket starts with 220, it is an LH ticket" - "but I only get an error message" - "sure, I will now hang up!"] Next line: DE agent. Solved within 30sec.

I`ve got the "Your Choice" promo today (7k for flying 24 EQM on LH,LX,OS in 10/11.08) by snail mail. No problem to register. Just failed for the first time since costumer number is required, not the M&M number.
With our “Miles on Tour” promotion you will receive 5,000 additional award miles if , between 1 October and 31 December 2008, you make 7 round-trip flights with SWISS, Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines or Croatia Airlines between European countries.
