I get really confused by this stuff. I'm getting the miles, but the TPs are confusing. We normally fly JER-LGW, then LHR-IAD, always booked WT+ and then MFU to CW on all sectors.
TPs on the last 3 trips went:
120+40 [x2]
75+5 [x2]
120+40 [x2]
I think I got robbed in Oct 09, and it's now too late to claim

I wish I'd joined FT sooner!
