Changes to DC earning

Surprised nobody has clocked this yet:

On 1 September 2006, Spanair changed their miles earning structure. This now means ‘S’ class fares are no longer be eligible for miles earning. Therefore, if you are travelling in ‘S’ class with Spanair after this date you will not earn miles.

On 4 September 2006 TAP Portugal also changed their miles earning structure. This means O and U class will now earn 0.5 miles and E and T class will no longer be eligible for miles earning.

Please see the table below [see link] for more details on what fares you will earn miles on.

What's particularly curious is that TAP C, D, Z (J) tix have been downgraded to economy Y earning rates - ie x 1.5 rather than x2.

Nah, you just beat me too it.

I note that with this change to miles earning structure there is no increase in rates for other classes - it's all down!

I thought TAP is in Miles and More now and don't have their own program- when did they move out?

No I don't think so. Austrian and Swiss joined Miles&More but I don't think TAP ever did.
TAP Victoria became know in it's current form on 14th March 2005. Before this date it was called "Navigator". I presume that came into existance sometime after Qualiflyer closed.

Not sure if this is the case. M&M for example still give 2x earning for those flights.

Can anyone confirm?
