Dear XXX,

Your next destination: miles! You can earn XXX extra award miles just by taking part in this promotion.

You will earn these if you accrue at least XXX status miles* between 1 September and 31 October 2011 on flights operated by Adria Airways, Air Dolomiti, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Croatia Airlines, LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa or SWISS.

Simply register here for our ‘Destination Miles’ promotion. Once you reach your personal mileage target, you will receive your additional award miles as a one-time credit approximately four weeks after the promotion finishes.
Has anyone received the miles for the above promo? Nothing here. I was targeted, registered for it and got 14,204 status miles with LH & OS in October (my milestone was 13,000).

5 weeks have now passed since the deadline. Unless the bonus 25% FTL miles are not status enough, I wonder what the problem is...

The exec bonus doesn't count. I didn't read the fine print either last year. Had a 31.000 target and thought I had made it. But without the exec bonus I really only had 30.948. Missed it by 52 miles.

Fine print. Damn you!! I managed to get 14586 miles of my required 14000 but that was with the bonus. I just added up all the status totals for LH/LX flights.

Did anyone get the double status miles that were being targeted?

Sorry, I'm just the messenger. The "fine print" warning was also posted on FT in at least one thread (possibly even this one). Just my luck that I found it to late last year. That promotion ran until JAN 31st and I would have had plenty of time to do one cheap segment to somewhere. If had only been aware of my error of thinking.

Some people suggested taht I write a nice letter to LH and go begging. But I didn't do that. Took the 11.000 award mile loss and decided not to do it again.

My treshold was lower this fall (not-requalifying year, so did some flights on awards or using SkyScream), but reached the target and the miles credited as follows:04/11/2011 Destination Miles +6 400

Aargh, you're right! I just re-read the fine print, which I'm sure I did back in August, but for some reason this escaped me.

In actual fact, I had no other flights in the period I could have done with LH*, but I wish I had been realistic from the start.

For me, too.. although I had only 5000 for 2400 (or so I believe). But good to know that exec bonus doesn't count towards the target.

New year's target for me: 5.100 award miles for 17.000 status (excl. exec bonus) miles between Jan 1st and Mar 31st.

Quite ambitious a target - 12.000 or even 13.000 status miles shouldn't be a problem, but 17.000?

Wonder what was your flying pattern this year.

My pattern this year was simple: A few European shorthauls between NL and DE. Maybe a max of 30 segments...
About 10k status miles...

I have no idea how they come up with the 106k miles if they are basing this on past performance. If they do look forward however, they'll find three biz tickets to Asia in my name. Booked a few things during the last promos...

That might be it! Maybe not all of them are in the given timeframe for the promo, so they think you're going to buy some more
