There is an anomaly here - S fares on bmi are quite hight (as they earn x1.5 on bmi operated flights). S, however, appears as earning at x0.5 on LH flights - even though in this case it is a quite expensive fare...

My inclination is to contact Diamond Club, our resident bmi lurker here on FT and explain the anomaly and see if things can be changed.

Otherwise, I'd be inclined to credit the fare to another programme - Miles & More for example.
