Earnings on LH-group flights in EU-Y are really poor, most of the alphabet is in the low-eco category (125) - many of the same booking classes earn in M&M 750+25%

Now that I requal'd till 2015 in M&M I very carefully consider which flight to credit to which programme - but that couple of long-hauls in C should take me to or very near to EBG (*G)
Eurobonus has poor burn rate on all except SK metal- I ditched EB for M/M in 2001 and has never regretted it. It is not exactly cheap either- 30 k miles for a OSL-MOW one way redemption is much worse than M/M.
