Almost -- it's actually 80,000 (which the 25% "executive bonus" then increases to the required 100,000). Remember too that the bonus only applies to the base miles, not to any class of service multiplier. Still, as you say, it was not an unattractive for anyone taking occasional long haul returns in Z.Originally Posted by NickB
75K miles if flying on M&M airlines or UA

Sadly, "more problematic" is a major understatement. A return IAH-FRA-LHR in Z used to net me nearly 29,000 miles towards requalification. In the new P booking class it'd be fewer than 15,000. Getting *G for three long haul returns plus a couple of short hops was attractive enough (especially with status granted for two years, making it easy to take a break from earning in order to redeem some miles). Doubling the number of flights needed means that M&M is not a remotely attractive option for the overwhelming majority of readers here.Originally Posted by NickB
With discount business earnings reduced to 150% (Z) or 100% (P), this is more problematic.
