But the redemption rate for Asiana is 1 Hana mile = 1.2 Asiana miles, so if I understand correctly the true accrual rate is 1500 KRW = 1.8 Hana miles * 1.2 Asiana redemption = 2.16 miles, and for foreign transactions it's 2.0 * 1.2 = 2.4 miles per 1500 KRW. And although the foreign transaction mileage bonus is capped at 1000 Hana miles/month, that's not bad at all.
