2 and 3 years ago they had a X-mas special where you earned 10 miles/euro at the partner retailers. That was great, but they didn't do it last December...
Yes, I you can get a lot of miles if you live in this country and use the A3-linked CC. Unfortunately for me, I have a M&M-linked one and if I use it less frequently than once a month, my 37 K miles will be lost. Since I no longer fly LH/LX/OS, using the CC is the only way to prevent the miles from disappearing. I have to find a quick way to burn them, and then I'll be free...
