[QUOTE=SEA_Tigger]Once you clear the 2P or 1P/1K threshold on a segment, all future segments will accrue the relevant 25% or 100% bonus.

Thanks for all the responses. Just to clarify: I'm not worried about the flights that have posted in the meantime. Actually, the BP I kept is for SYD-LAX (some 7500 miles!), so I am much more interested whether I would get the 100% bonus for that earlier flight now that I hit 1P even though the flight occured before I made 1P.

I think judging from some posts I would say that I will get the 100% 1P bonus if the flight gets credited now (even though it was taken earlier). I was asking this because this is exactly like the LH system works. You will get the 25% bonus for all flights posted to your account after you have qualified for FTL or SEN. I think the computer system is not that clever and will simply see that you want to credit a flight and you've got status, so it applies the bonus to that flight. It works all the time.

So, my question is whether I can be that certain with MP as well...or is it more like a 50/50 chance? In that case I rather credit it to LH and get at least my 25% bonus for the flight. Thanks again.
