Hello,


Recently I took a SWISS flight from Europe (Barcelona) to South America (Brazil).

- In my Mileageplus account I received 6420 miles (3.2k per each way)

- My girlfriend’s Miles&More account received half my miles. (like 1.6k status miles per each way). –> I still need to claim the return’s trip.



Is normal to receive 50% of miles in M&M than MP? I understand the miles value (when spending) is similar. (in M&M I haven’t seen flights 50% cheaper).

I’m not sure if She should claim returning trip with another FPP, or keep using M&M. She only have these miles in M&M FPP.
