You are absolutely right,
totti. ^
Such a run is just <self censored>, as an offer
and as a participant.
When I read, who all is hunting for it, same people who before always told how useless this is and how stupid the HONs are flying LH and not the other so much better airlines and so on and so on. This apparentness of all these people (here and in VFT) tells me a lot about how they are structured.
However, I tend to believe, that the 50K per leg will be award miles only at the end and only the usual 10K HON miles will be credited per leg. This is , how I still read this offer by the way. The rest is interpretation and probably missinformation from LHPJ. They will disappear from the market sooner or later anyway. So why should they care about their current promises?
So the outcome will probably be, that all those people will complain like crazy and even more about LH. Stupid enough to join into such IMHO.
