Ive been trying to get comped. inside Star Alliance. Im top level in 3 *A carriers (UA, LH and SQ) and would like to get comped on a 4th (Mexicana) since this year Im flying MX on a bi-weekly basis -at least- and don't want to book these flights to Frecuenta (instead to my MPlus account). So far, I havent been able to get MX to comp. me...
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
