Crankyusi .. the "Quadruple" was my posting right at start of this thread. It certainly applies in the situation I quoted:
If ANY UA flyer takes a Thai flight they get HALF miles for every mile flown. If I fly Thai to Europe in coach the 20,000 flown miles get me only 10,000 MP points. On Frequenta I assume this becomes 40,000 points, (+ 4000 sign on) and that
34,000 bonus might be worth something decent?
A strange deal .. make of it what you will.
That situation has not altered. Ansett in Australia only give 70% AND require a flight within 30 days of Tranpac to get UA points .. the MEX deal nearly triples my feed there.
This thread has of course now evolved to the point where NO flying is needed to
gain 46,000 Free Hilton points sitting at your keyboard.
For more details of that, which is effectively:
