16k Mileage promotion

Just got-email from Big Hubert. If you fly AF/KL between 1 Oct. 08 and 31 Jan. 09:

The way it's worded, it looks like

1st 6 flights get 8k
next 8 flights get another 4k
next 10 flights, get another 4k

So looks like you need to fly 24x for the 16k bonus and not 16k for a total of 10 flights.

Must register by end of October.

Not sure if it's targeted but no unique

16,000 Award Miles, only for you.

So if you take less than 6 flights in that period, you get zero extra miles?
I'm in doubt because I got my e-mail in french, and it's not so clear in french...

That's how I read it. Not much of a promo if FB is encouraging you to fly more than 6 flights.

Why don't you post the French offer?

Sounds like the same deal:

6 flights within the time period 8k bonus miles
14 flights within the time period 12k bonus miles
24 flights within the time period 16k bonus miles

It's be better if it was:

6 flights 8k
8 flights 12k
10 flights 16k

But would FB offer that? Nah.

Looks like the Dutch got a different deal:

5.000
Award Miles
for the first
4 flights
3.500 extra
Award Miles
for the next
6 flights
3.500 extra
Award Miles
for the next 8 flights.

Between 1 oktober 2008 and 31 january 2009 .

Maybe better because at least you have a serious chance of actually getting the first 5000...

I got offered 13k 6000 for the first 6 and 3500 in two steps after that. It also says that some fares may not be eligeble: the ones that don't earn miles. Were there any 0%-earning classes on AF or KL besides awards? I can't think of any.

Yes there are. Tickets booked with Dutch airmiles (through http://www.klmairmiles.nl ) doesn't earn miles either, and ofcourse the IPB-tickets for the non-revers.

Airmiles tickets don't count and off course award travel does not count.

It only works when you personally received the e-mail. Otherwise don't bother.
