Hi all,

First, I apologize if this is the wrong place for this question. I was quite active on FT for a few years perhaps 10 years ago, but haven't kept up.

I'm very close to hitting 1M BIS miles for the million mile status, currently at 978,986. I have a trip to Denmark coming in October, and am getting ready to book it. I haven't checked the mileage for that trip, but think it should get me pretty close. Am I remembering correctly that segments on Star Alliance partner airlines don't count toward MM status?

Now on to my main question: if I use miles to pay for the flights, will the miles of those flights still count toward million mile status?

Thanks a million, for the help! (sorry, couldn't resist)
