The biggest issue for me was always the POS restriction. You have to buy flights in the market you're registered in.
I think right now every revenue booking class does count, at least for LH flights.
Yes, they registered me in the UK for some reason, even though the only business address I supplied was in PL. They even admitted (via email) that the mistake was on their end and promised to retro-credit the flights but they never did so. The last time I checked they still had me registered in the wrong region even though I had been told by several different reps that this issue would be fixed promptly. However, the agents themselves never said that the region issue was the reason I had not been credited - they always tried to say it was due to an invalid fare class (until they caved in and admitted they were wrong about this also). I've now given up dealing with them and written the whole thing off.
