I don’t recall hearing about any US program entering into a LH-style deal with Finanzamt over mileage credits for flights. And between the US military and other US government presence in Germany and all the other Americans who get 1-5 year private sector rotations in Germany, I’m sure there are a lot of American frequent flyer program account members who’ve been living in Germany and earning US program miles for work-related flights. It seems to me that Finanzamt went after the biggest fish that wouldn’t immediately set off bigger international ripples while at it.
