I have replied back but I believe they think this is a closed issue. Any guidance would be appreciated. I am only looking for a fair resolution.

Dear Michael,
I'm sorry to hear that the answer you received didn't meet your expectations. It's correct to get back to Customer Relations directly. Even if your case has been closed, my colleagues will look into your complaint again and they will get back to you.

Dear Lufthansa Flyertalk Team,

Guess what? This is the 21st century. Why do you make it so hard for us to send the boarding passes?

It shows I'm mad at you for letting my kids' miles expire. The reason you gave me: they joined JetFriends a few years ago, but chose Spanish as their preferred language instead of English or German. Congratulations Lufthansa: you've lost a couple of potentially loyal customers, and their father is determined to burn the M&M miles and move to another *A program.

Mileage Credit Form

Dear Lurkers,

similar to earlier posts it seems that M&M is doing everything to make retrospective mileage credits a pain. I'm was just trying to fill out the form for an LX flight that was booked on KL ticket stock (074) and guess what, the tool claims that the airline code is invalid.

I also had to claim the KL flights from the same ticket with Flying Blue and all they needed for an instant posting of the miles was the PNR and last name....

Cheers
Verve

Hello Verve, sorry to hear that you seem to be having difficulties with the Miles & More Online Form. In the event this it is not possible to complete the form, the Miles and More Service Team requires the original boarding pass. You can send this per post to: Miles& More Service Team Postfach 1200, 33409 Verl, Germany. Adam

Hi Adam,
I appreciate your empathy - could I also ask you to share this feedback, and the many others you got above, with the M&M Service team. This might help them to figure out more sophisticated and customer friendly processes.
Many thanks
Verve

This (sending in original paper boarding passes) has already been criticized 15 years ago when I started flying LH regularly. The fact that this hasn't been addressed yet only leaves one conclusion: it's intentional to reduce the number of miles that are given out through the retro-credit.

Hi verve, I understand that this is not the most modern process and can definitely pass your feedback on to Miles & More. Sending in an original boarding pass for retroactive mileage accrual is however a standard set procedure and not without its reasons. Adam

Sorry for stepping in but most BP's today are mobile, so should we be sending our Smartphones by mail to Germany ?? :-)

Please post a video of the mobile being faxed - I'd love to see it.

Another problem is that the mobile and (printed out) online boarding passes, unlike the "good old" paper boarding pass, don't display the booking class.

Thanks -- I didn't notice that line until now. Very useful!

Dear Lurkers,
I recently completed a trip to US and one of the legs within US was on United for which I did not receive a mileage credit. Now, I'm trying to fill the "Missing Mileage" form by choosing United as the partner. On the form, it asks me for a eTicket # that starts with 16. But I do not have that as the eTicket number on my boarding pass. My United boarding pass has the Lufthansa eTicket number starting with "220". Could you please tell me what I should do in this case?

Thanks

Dear Redhat72,
if you use the online form for the retro-credit, then it should be possible to overwrite the default "16" with the Lufthansa ticket number beginning with 220. You may also use the "Reset"-Button on the bottom of the page.

Fax? Really?

Hi there,

I work at a large research university. We removed around 90 per cent of our fax machines a few years ago, since a scanned attachment to an email uses the exact same capture technology, but doesn't incur communication costs--particularly international ones.

I politely encourage LH to join us in the 21st century and have an email address or web interface that allows uploading a scanned boarding pass.
