Getting this card the cheap and easy way sort of defeats the LH purpose. Unless that purpose is to squeeze its best customers into doing some more premium flying.
LH probably have evidence from the recent surveys showing that most SEN are also elite FF on other airlines. So it would be a clever way to try and capture more premium business from these existing customers using the new status as an incentive.
Hopefully, LH will give us "genuine" foreigners a lower threshold of 300,000 miles - I bet there's many here who could earn it easily.
Elite name? Must surely be called the - President. What do you think?
