Any info about this?

I just dont think that you get extra segments for flying Business/First, like you would if you flew M/B/Y or Business with CM

Link the info from ConnectMiles website please

This is just 1 page of 5 from "My Activity" this year (I can post the other 4 if wanted too):

[Broken Image]

There are only 2 entries that have 0 listed under segments - one is that promotional survey from Copa and the other is Air Canada giving me 5,000 ConnectMiles for a flight delay compensation

I have flown CM, UA, LH, LX, AC, SN, AV on both PE and Eco fares this year, for a total of 45 segments. Every single one of them gave me 1 segment similar to that shown in the screenshot

What segments did you fly on that gave you 0?

Updated image:



All of those flights were flown after August last year, with the top left one being from Feb 2019

Again, I still believe that you get 1 segment per flight on non CM/AV metal
