Varig 500 years promotion, does it give miles?
 

I saw somewhere that Varig is offering an airpass valid for 15 days of unlimited travel in Brazil, it's called something like Brazil 500 years airpass, and costs $500. Considering the cost of airtravel in Brazil it seems like a good deal. Does any1 know if the flights with this airpass will give miles? And if so, could these miles be passed on to its Star Alliance partners?
