If they credited the full miles for EZE tickets so far, I would say they have to credit those miles to everybody who booked the ticket before the changes to the program were made. Nobody told us that no miles could be collected on those flights. Do they really think they can make the company profitable by not giving miles to a few savvy FTers ? Quite the opposite I would think...

Huegli's points is a good one.
For those deciding to vote with their feet, would the DM fare give credit in AA or other programmes?
After all, AA allows 125% credit for business class Swiss flights in C, D, J, R, and W. AA's T+C's state You may accrue mileage only for purchased, eligible, published-fare tickets on qualifying routes used in accordance with all applicable conditions of carriage, tariffs, rules and terms of ticketing and travel which would suggest that AA credit would be OK.

Roger, I already had the same idea. I guess we'll have to wait and see if anyone taking the trip from now on gets the miles on STC. If not, someone should try AA. If they credit the miles and STC doesn't, guess where my business will go....

My dilemma (not really a serious one - it's a no brainer) is that BA ask 13,000 miles for LHR-ZRH/GVA roundtrip in Y, and offer 200% mileage for C/J flights. LX and AA require 20,000 miles, and offer 1.5x and 1.25x for C/J flights. That's not difficult for those (like me) who travel between LHR and ZRH/GVA.
The dilemma arises only because I already have a chunk of BA, AA and LX miles. BA and AA miles automatically extend their 3-year life each time the account is used, while LX stop after three years (unless you pay for them to be extended). I think it's getting easier ...
Of course, easyJet prices are sometimes cheaper than the taxes/fees on 'free' tickets, but that's another question all together!

Am I right in reading that from now on we won´t get miles for EZE? Probably explains why "NO FFP CREDIT" is still in my reservation log....
I think some of those fares MAY stand for government, journalist etc. fares but don´t have the slightest idea about DM.
