Certainly if I were LH or whoever and I saw that UA was covering up its mismanagement on the travel provider side by selling billions of MP miles to credit card companies to give away, I would charge UA a premium for putting award travelers in my premium classes. Especially if my own customers had to earn those kinds of awards the hard way.
You forget to say that airlines like LX, Lh are very snobbish and those German, Swiss country club elite members do not appreciate some badly dressed schmuck in their LH FCT or their cabin.
There is a badly groomed blogger more like a backpacker who flies F and takes pictures of himself wearing flip flops and torn shorts. Probably has worms by the way he looks.
