Minimum mileage earnings

I was looking at the details for earnings on ANA. Recently it has been necessary to look before booking every time, since SAS changes the earning rates on booking classes without any warning nor notification.

This time I noticed that the minimum earning has been removed. ANA used to have a minimum earning of 300 miles, which has been removed so now it is always actual distance. Not that this one is going to chance any significant earning, but how often can they slice off the EB earnings by just updating the website and not announcing it in any way?

Just a bit of a rant.....

I've noticed the same thing for several airlines, however, from my experience the website has just stopped listing the minimum earnings (they did vanish with the website update). They do still apply, at least in the case of LX all my short hops have earned the old minimums.

I'll have to see, the current booking I am looking at is not minimum mileage relevant so even if I make it, no knowing where the minimum rules apply.
