Since when any of business class tickets are not millage accrual in whole Star Alliance airlines? This ticket costed me more than 3500 Euro on business class "P" Lufthansa. Is it too cheap to get 100% miles? I dont understand it.
You vented your frustration extensively and I understand you.
Not checking ROP rule before is a mistake. But it seems that ROP is quite stingy with crediting miles for flights on other airlines. Apparently, LH P qualifies for 100% miles (or the equivalent) for the few *A programs I have checked (UA, SQ, SAS), so ROP is indeed "special". I could understand that they would give fewer miles for P than for J/C/D, but giving 0% is weird. Actually they even give 100% for LX P.
My guess is that TG is using some old rule. The super-discounted P business class was introduced recently by LH (like a year ago) and it could be that ROP failed to update. That would not be surprising with TG.
