P = 100 %
Z = 150 %
Flying on LH group metal: Add 25 % executive bonus and multiply the whole by 2
5000 effective great circle miles in Z will be 17500 status miles.
Please correct me ! I need to know too

I need a slight re-education about the status and normal miles thing. Status miles are what you get to help towards your status and normal miles are what you actually get on your account which you can use for awards etc. I haven't paid too much attention because I usually get FTL on segments.
So will any cheaper LH/LX business fare do, or do you get as few status miles as normal miles? And what makes the Luxair offers stand out?

Spend some time on https://www.miles-and-more.com/de/en..._basic_01.html as the section Status miles/Booking class system spells out what status miles you earn on different types of flights in the various booking classes. There are similar pages for LX, OS etc etc but LH Group are all basically identical, YMMV with airlines outside the group.

Hi Everyone,
I'm an Ex HON but currently have no LH group status. (I maintain Gold with TK and BA). Considering potentially using the current 300k threshold to requalify for HON as fits my travel pattern for the coming few years, assuming things bounce back, however, I can't find a definite answer anywhere
on whether the double status promotion applies to those who do not hold status currently. Does any one have any experience with that question?
Many thanks,
Daniel

So it seems I would need to aim for booking classes C, D and J (2,000 status miles) or, at a push, Z (1,250 status miles).
I thought there was some interesting exception about Luxair. And I wonder about Croatia Airlines?

Hi,
I have received so far my 30000status miles from credit cards, Luxair BCEE and AMEX Brussels Airlines
luckily I have bought furnitures which I already paid in december 2020 and they were on the january transaction
I have also bought Luxair C offer, duo, Z get total miles of 6252 miles (1563 one leg and it get double promoted)
so my FTL should be fine
later I will go for SEN with either one long haul and one short european D
or 3x european D
like these for example:
cheers,

It actually never occurred to me either. But I had read quite a lot of odd things about Revolut in the UK (as well as Curve) so I thought I would just give it a miss generally.
As for the Krankenkasse, I pay it for a whole year in one go and I rather suspect CSS won't take a card payment.

The maximum 30K you can get from the credit card includes the 5K bonus.
