I was wondering if people have started to receive the companion ticket advertised as one of the benefits of the new M&M MasterCard for US customers. A few weeks ago, I noted in the original credit card thread that it'd seem like a good deal if indeed it could be used for any booking class, and I had copied and pasted the terms from the offer (second post on this page)

Today, however, going back to the same website (http://www.lufthansa.com/online/port...nodeid=2037464) from where I had copied the original T&C, this is what is shows now:

Terms & Conditions of the Economy Class Companion Ticket

* Application: all published fares in Economy Class. The paid Economy Class ticket must be for travel departing from the U.S. to Europe/Middle East/Africa and Far East
* Eligibility: Miles & More MasterCard holders residing in the U.S.
* Class of service: Economy Class
* Booking class: both revenue and companion ticket must be booked in H/Class
* Type of transportation: based on paid Economy Class fare
* Travel: valid only on Lufthansa operated flights (no code-share or Lufthansa train). Both paid Economy Class ticket and Companion Ticket must travel on the same flights on the same day.
* Reservations: must be made by calling Miles & More Companion Ticket Service at 1-866-461-5399
* Ticketing: will be ticketed by the Miles & More Companion Ticket Service

[ the rest is the same as before]

Note the addition of the fourth line which wasn't part of the T&C when I copied them a few weeks ago - ticket must be in H class. Of course, in most circumstances this would make the companion ticket offer pretty useless for the casual flyer shopping around for the best deal.

Did anybody else notice this? Did anybody receive any companion certificate yet, and what does it say?
