Need help translating in to German
To our German speaking FTer's what would be the proper and/or best translation of "Frequent Flyer Bonuses"
Vielflieger Bonusse
Vielfieger Boni
Vielflieger Prämien
or something totally different?

For a speedier answer, we're switching this to our Germany forum where you're practically guaranteed to find a German-speaking FT'er.
But we'll leave a re-direct here in OMNI and so this question will be in both forums.

^ correct = prämien here stands for awards
if you are thinking of 'bonus' = 'extra-miles' (due to status or a special promotion) then it is: Vielflieger Bonus Meilen (contrary to Status Meilen)
if it is about 'bonus' = status advantages (like lounge access etc) than it is:
Vielflieger Status Vorteile.

die Vielfliegerstatusmeile(n) sg/pl
die Vielfliegerprämienmeile(n) sg/pl
...and you have gems such as
Vielfliegerbonusprämienmeilen (extra frequent flyer award miles, e.g. a partner promotion)
die Vielfliegerprämienmeilennachbuchung(en) sg/pl (retroactive credit for award miles)
and so on

Thanks to help of Forstbetrieb and Rudi I have now launched
www.vielfliegerpraemien.com
For those of you who know I run FrequentFlyerBonuses.com (Global site) and have Canadian and U.K. Sites. Well now I have launched one that focuses on Germany/Austria/Switzerland.
Once again many thanks to the two above and any suggestions are always welcome
