Mileage plus flying on Lufthansa Premium Economy Class

I am wondering how much credit I can get when flying on Lufthansa Premium Economy Class.

According the following link;
http://www.miles-and-more.com/online...en&cid=1000276

Premium Economy booking class and mile credit to Miles and more is followings.
E, G: 1.5 x distance, at least 750 miles
N: 1.0 x distance, at least 500 miles

So, E and G are more expensive than N. OK~

Then, I looked the UA web,
http://www.united.com/CMS/en-US/Mark...spx?ItemId=298

G=100%, E and N=0%

This is VERY strange.
Then I sent e-mail and called to United.
Both said the web was correct!!!

Even "Discount Economy", T and L is 100%. Why PE 0%?
Why E = 0% and G = 100%???? (assume E is more expensive than G)

I am checking this before I booked the PE ticket.
Anybody who actually flew on PE with LH? How much did you earn?

Thanks for your help!

Sounds like another P fare issue on BR/OS/etc. until they get their act together

Yeah, there's also a hole like this in the award chart for TAP; there is an intermediate fare class which costs more than all the 50% earning fares, costs more than most of the 100% earning fares, and somehow earns 0%. United says: "Too bad".

Along those lines, I have heard the Premium Economy is a pretty good service. How does it compare with UA E+?

Completely different than E+. It's a true premium Econ and not just a few more inches of room. You get more room, better recline, less seats across, different meals etc.

It's also in a whole different league price-wise, of course.

Hopefully these inconsistencies will be fixed...maybe if UA gets a bunch of emails asking about it someone will finally elevated it higher up the ladder for review?

I'm pretty much good for 2015 PQD so I am looking at booking some stuff away from UA and I wanted to try LH PE but I won't if it is chasing/0 mile shenanigans.

Thanks for posting the updated chart. Now we can just hope of someday booking that via UA website. Don't worry, I won't hold my breath.

It appears that you can do that if you first search for the flight via Google's flight search, then click the "Book with United" link at the bottom. Google only labels the flight as regular economy, but if you see a G, E or N fare at United's site then it is, in fact, premium economy.
