Double Status Miles Promotion for status renewal
Just got the following email, sorry German only, from M&M (LX actually). I am still missing some miles for my status renewal. Basically, double status miles for flights taken between SEP and OCT within Europe on the below mentioned airlines.
Guess some of you got the same, or a similar promotion?

Dear matt,

Sign up here today for our “Double Status Miles” promotion - by doing so you can easily reach or renew your Frequent Traveller or Senator status.
You will earn double status miles on all scheduled flights operated by Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian Airlines, LOT Polish Airlines, Adria Airways, Air Dolomiti, Croatia Airlines or Luxair.
We look forward to welcoming you back on board with us or one of our partner airlines in the near future.
Yours sincerely,
Hubert Frach

Deutsche Lufthansa AGdoes anybody know whether the executive bonus of 25% of credited miles is doubled as well? I accumulated about 33k miles this year. considering business saver flights with a stopover it's tempting to go hunt the senator status instead of requalifying for frequent flyer. 
cheers

Welcome to Flyertalk and the M&M forum Matt
Was my thought as well. It seems to be a simple way to go for SEN.

For two years in a row, I missed SEN by a mere 5-6000 miles and this year it appears that I will miss it, too. So maybe LH wants me to become one
I could capture this link:
https://promo.milesandmore.com/servl...7R09E&SLTYPE=1 where xxxxxxxxx stands for Miles and More CUSTOMER number.

Same here- I requalified for SEN until 2012 in April 08 and got this mail while MrsLonLH has not. Since I am only 150K short of qualifying for HON, might worth moving my three SQ/CX flights to LH which should net 90K status miles without 2x bonus had the promo included non-Europe flights.

I checked with LH M&M Hotline today. double miles count only for earned miles per booking class. Executive bonus is not taken into account and thus is not doubled. would be too good though
Cheers

Judging form this press-release I highly doubt that it is targeted to any special audience as it says "Miles & More members" in there...and I have yet to see a press-release for a targeted promotion.

I've been M&M Silver since 2003 and I dont think I have ever received a promo email from LH. Certainly not in the last 3-4 years. But they definitely have my email address, since I always get the Worldshop and LH sale emails....
So thank you dear Flyertalkers for posting these specials, this is where I find out about the promotions. I had no trouble registering for this one, and since I dont receive the emails, I doubt I was targeted !
Thanks to you, f4freeJunior
