I'm not as close to Silver as
hugoagogo but they probably only looked at the status miles and assumed I flew with them regularly. As I live 90 miles from the nearest BD 'hub' it doesn't make sense for me to fly domestically unless I'm connecting at LHR. Since I'm already *G with LH, Diamond Club is my secondary FFP to which I only credited odd WW miles in the past since I could get more M&M miles for cheap economy fare on BD. This has now changed and the most recent flights were credited to DC.
Most of my status miles actually came from the Star MegaDo but they probably couldn't tell how I earned those miles.
@
ThatT1Feeling, rest assured nothing much has improved for me. I already have lounge access as *G when flying on BD. As a Silver I won't get any more privilege other than 25% destination miles bonus. Since I'll have to requalify for my SEN status this year or next, I may not be crediting many miles to DC in any case.
