I was on a V fare for my LH return, so it looks like I should be OK, but I know a bunch of you were on W/S LH fares. Not cool. :td:

This is my recollection, as well. This is NOT cool. I booked close to $2,000 worth of TATL flights in reliance on the previously posted earnings chart, and there has been no announcement from CO (not even here on FT) about this change.

Sounds like it's time to shoot off an email or PM... If it was changed without announcement, you should be due some EQMs.

Marriott does get an A for consistency. IME, they all look/feel just about the same.

That's their brand positioning, as I understand it, and it's certainly consistent with my experience, too. I believe the Renaissance brand has a little more variation.

IAH-PHX is way too short. The $$/miles value isn't as good.

You learned a couple of words from the Polizei though, "Dokumente" and "Pass". ;)

I am 100% sure it changed. I double checked earnings after booking my ticket through .bomb and it was based on metal. I thought I would get 50% EQM for my intra-Euro flights.

I will never forget the FA in Biz on the flight home from the MegaDo. Nothing less than a sneer and "You vant to eeeeet?" And apparently being in a sleep-induced haze is cause for hatred as well, because it took me about 6 seconds to decide what I vanted to eeeeet...this must be about 5.98 seconds too long for their taste.

Maybe I was snoring, farting, scratching myself and mumbling racial epithets all at the same time. I was unaware of such offensive behavior since I was in such a coma-like state. Perhaps that is what earned me such treatment.

From PHL and during DEQM, your contention is not true. :D

No -- that's definitely new. It used to show 100% for trans-Atlantic.

Sadly, not really. They change the earnings rates all the time and it is our problem, not theirs when it happens. The rules in effect at the time of travel are what govern the earning, not those of the time of purchase.

And, yes, it is a change.
