Or, buy the ticket directly from Lufthansa on their ticket stock, with their LH flight number and simply credit to my MP account? I just can’t seem to find where on the United website it clearly spells this out, but I’m guessing it does if I click enough links… Thanks in advance.
016 ticket will give you full PQP for the ticket. LH ticket has a cap on the PQP of 1,000 per segment.
