Unfortunately, same result. With my 7-8 flights to Europe I am stuck at roughly 250000 miles per year - the worst place within the current LH reward structure.

Worse: all *A airlines (ex. UA, US, and the integrated M&L partners) simultaneously stopped providing the 25% SEN/FTL (and HON) bonus!

And many of us here believe this !

Wow, didn't know that. As for HON miles it affected just UA. No other non-integrated *A carrier provided HON miles before. I always understood, that UA didn't want to pay for it anymore (or maybe LH requested more $$$ from UA starting Apr 2006) and so stopped the programm.

It would have been smarter to agree on "25% HON miles" in the first place on UA

That was my big singular fallout with LH! Was a faithful buyer of LH tickets ex. Oz and suddenly the TG or SQ part from SYD/PER to Asia was no longer eligible of the elite bonus (25%).
Four years earlier, LH abandoned the benefit that you need only 78K to renew the SEN level as non-DE resident. And the argument they used was that you earn 25% bonus on all *A operated flights (no booking classes excluded then, and full 50% for C and 75% bonus for F).

aah, I was worried I had missed something recent concerning fully integrated LH partners
Thanks for the clarification!

Now that the bonus is "standardized" I suggest that ALL partner airline miles count for HON status miles. That would be TRUE standardization.

Just a thought.

50%

It seems that Hons get still 50% executive bonus for the fixed miles within Europe!
(That´s at least what the german website says; on the other hand, the english version tells you only 25%!)

Hmmm, since I´m in a german speaking country based, do I get 50% ???

And the next hmmm: how long will it take (LH) to fix that since reading this?

The M&M computers are working properly. The reduction became reality.
