Yes - presuming the OP will be SEN that is. Too terse wording on my side:
all assumptions based on
flysurfer's suggestion to hold 1K and SEN.
Again, 175% for Y and B on Miles and More once have FTL, and this does include flights on UA.
Only point where I do not 100% agree - Y and B on UA metal do not give
150%/175%(for elites) on M&L anymore. Y and B on LH/OS/LX/AC/LO however
do.
I dont know about it being any easier. I have several high statuses and try to credit to various schemes to best take advantage of earning and burning anomalies. However it is a challenge at times!..
Yes - really difficult for very frequent flyers such as you. But the OP flies about
the same as I do and splitting miles between SEN and 1K is fairly easy. Especially
after the changes the split rules are almost a trip-to-trip decision:
- F travel, including US domestic, go to M&L
- S&T Europe fares go to M&L
- B and Y fares - given that the OP is not struggling to keep the status -
go tp M&L
- Z,C,J,D fares go to M&L while needed for requalification or if Z needs to
be upgraded
- cheap fares (that excludes Z) on UA metal go MP
- Q,H,M,Y,B on UA go to MP
- C,D transatlantic on non-UA metal: no clear direction, so can be balanced
between the programs
- excess miles not needed for qualification go to MP preferrably
Did I forget anything?
