Yeah - Korean Air definitely has one of the most archaic frequent flyer programs there is. Other than on flights, there are virtually no opportunities to accrue (even the SkyPass credit card sucks) and nothing is ever clear on how it should work. Even buying tickets online can be a pain in the a$$. On the plus side, if you are an elite with them, their archaic, unclear way of doing things benefits you as they'll just disregard or bend rules willy-nilly in your favor sometimes. The fogginess of rules on a lot of things is mostly accidentally done on purpose, I think.
