I just travelled MXP-SFO-SYD, starting as a Premier with about 43,000 status miles.

The first flight (6,000 miles) would have pushed me to about 49,000 status miles, and then the second flight (7,400 miles) to 56,400 status miles.

However the flights appear to have been posted into MP in the opposite order, so that the SFO-SYD flight only earned 25% bonus but pushed me up to a Premier Exec, then the MXP-SFO flight posted with a 100% bonus.

What should have happened? Should I technically have only gotten 25% bonus on both flights? Does crossing the boundary on a flight entitle that flight to the greater bonus?

Cheers,
