And if you want to go for a weekend to Venice in Business from LHR with your partner on LH wait until DC becomes M&M and book on short notice:

Mileage required when DC becomes M&M: 50.000
Mileage required with DC: 58.500

Considering that the regular BD silver earns 4.800 miles on a revenue ticket for this routing with DC whereas the LH silver earns 10.000 miles with M&M, this clearly gives evidence on the superiority of M&M.

Come on, there is good and bad in everything. You took the best DC offer (one way in a Zone 1 to Zone 1) and compared it with the worst M&M offer. I did v/v. And your comparism was not fair either in a different way: The average BD silver earns 1200 miles for your MUC-LHR flight, the average LH silver earns 2500 miles for this flight.
