Very happy to hear there are people that benefited from the credit

Psst! Don't let his wife know that -- she might get suspicious as to whom mamb0 gave the SEN status to.

Got the 3k too, I did stop traveling with LH this year based on my new location but It's nice to maintain the FTL for another year.

Too bad they are not giving 10K HON Miles if you are SEN only. This would have been exactly helping me hitting the threshold already today instead of next Monday. The funny thing is that in my case I was exactly affected by 10K Status/HON miles (4 European Segments in D which I had to cancel) by the strike so in fact I would really be HON by today without the strikes. M&M obviously only supports people who cannot RE-qualify because of the strike but not such who cannot qualify.

All over all a ridiculous PR joke.

I got the email but no status miles yet posted in my account

It seems that members based in places other than europe are treated as second class customers in processing the bonus in their accounts.

Yes, I feel the disappointment and malcontent already creeping up. But I still have to get 2,8k into the account - and I just realised this actually is a problem. Am in NYC atm and not planning to go over the pond before January. In Europe I would just fly from MUC to LON and be done with it... But here it means a TATL... not necessarily eager. But lets see.

Re you question what's with the free SEN that comes with HON, how do they say on Facebook? It's complicated?

My base is Houston... Got them just two days ago, after receiving the email checked my account and they were there already...

Are you serious? E-mail actually says: "over the next few days we will be crediting the one‑off amount of XXXXXX status miles to the mileage accounts". So why do you feel like second class citizen? And to show some respect to first class citizens, it is Europe with capital E.

BTW, both Mrs and I got e-mail earlier this morning. My M&M account claims that credit was given on 7/12/2015 and it is there, my wife's account is yet to be credited.
