Is it correct that you can reach
AC elite (*G) by 50 segments
UA Premier Exec (*G) by 60 segments
US Gold Preferred (*G) by 60 segments?

Can I just credit my LH (and Austrian) flights to one of theese programms and do they count as segments even if they are the cheapest L, T or even E fares? Which one would you recommend (20-30 intra German trips and one to the US per year)?

Thanks for your help, have a nice sylvester party and a great new year enjoying whichever FF programm you use ,
best regards,
zap!
