awards miles and hotel booking
quick question: can I earn miles for hotels only by using the m&m website and booking system?
or can I just show my member card at the hotel during checkin, even if the booking has already been made independently?
(the hotel is already in the list of participating M&M hotels)

You can get still get miles by other means though, such as the excellent Hilton promotion (2500 miles per stay) that lasts till October, but even then you need to register in advance, book through the official site and make sure that LH is set as your preferred travel partner in your profile settings.
So what you definitely can't do is just turn up having booked on hotels.com, etc, and expect to get any miles. Most hotels are listed across multiple sites so the fact that they're also listed on the M&M site makes no difference.

Hotel chains which give you M&M or other airlines miles for a stay expect you to register your preference (whether you want to collect points or miles and if the latter which airline) in your account. This normally has to be done before you check in.

Here Hilton is still listed: https://www.miles-and-more.com/de/en...on-honors.html
So, I assume they are still a partner, but yes... kind of very little information on that website. But so far, I found every hotel-airline FFP partnership quite disappointing in value when crediting from one to the other (e.g. getting miles for the airline FFP instead of points to the hotel FFP.) Transferring between the programs is usually even more insulating, like Radisson giving 1000 miles to SK EB for 10.000 Radisson points. :/

We used to be able to earn 500 miles per stay with occasional bonus if I remember correctly but for several years now you could only earn 1 M&M mile per dollar spent. There have been promos from time to time. The last one was the Miles & More 25th Anniversary promo last year which earned 2,500 miles per stay.
How does the Miles & More offer work?
LUFTHANSA MILES & MORE 25 ANNIVERSARY 2500 Miles and Mord miles
I still have Miles & More as an airline partner in my HHonors account but I don’t know if there will be another promo like the last one.
