Fast-track your elite status with 40 extra points on every segment.
Miles & More members can take advantage of a Premium Economy bonus offer this summer: earn 50% more redeemable and status points on all eligible flights. Instead of the standard 80 redeemable points and 80 qualifying points (QPs), you’ll earn 120 points and 120 QPs per intercontinental flight segment.
This promotion applies across participating Lufthansa Group carriers and LOT Polish Airlines for travel completed by August 31, 2026. Book your flights directly with the desired airline to earn more points and accelerate your path toward Frequent Traveller and Senator status.
Status Run & Elite Value Analysis
Because this promotion awards both standard Points and Qualifying Points, every additional point earned moves you closer to elite tier thresholds across the Lufthansa Group network:
- Frequent Traveller Status (650 Points & 325 Qualifying Points): A single round-trip long-haul booking in Premium Economy with connecting segments now delivers up to 320 Qualifying Points—unlocking nearly the entire qualification threshold on one itinerary.
- Senator Status (2,000 Points & 1,000 Qualifying Points): Round-trip long-haul Premium Economy journeys earn 240 Qualifying Points on the long-haul legs alone, cutting the total flying required to secure Star Alliance Gold benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to register to earn the 50% Miles & More bonus points?
No registration is required. As long as your Miles & More service card number is attached to your reservation at the time of booking, the bonus Points and Qualifying Points post automatically after completing each eligible flight.
Which airlines qualify for the 120 Points Premium Economy promotion?
The promotion is valid on flights operated by Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Discover Airlines, ITA Airways, and LOT Polish Airlines.
Do these bonus points count toward Frequent Traveller and Senator status?
Yes. You earn both standard Points and Qualifying Points (120 total per eligible flight segment), meaning all points earned under this promotion count directly toward qualifying or requalifying for Frequent Traveller, Senator, and HON Circle status.
Can I get the bonus points if I book through an online travel agency (OTA)?
To ensure eligibility and smooth posting, flights should be booked directly through the participating airlines’ official websites with your Miles & More number entered during the booking process.
What happens if I fly during the promotional window on an existing booking?
If your travel occurs between June 1, 2026, and August 31, 2026, on an eligible operated flight in Premium Economy with your Miles & More number attached, the 120 Points and Qualifying Points will credit automatically after departure.
Do cash upgrades to Premium Economy earn the 120 promotional points?
Yes, paid upgrades completed before travel typically re-ticket into an eligible Premium Economy booking class and qualify for the 120 Points and Qualifying Points. However, complimentary operational upgrades at the gate generally earn points based on your original booked cabin.
Can I earn the bonus if I redeem Miles & More award miles for Premium Economy?
No. Award tickets, flight redemptions booked with miles, and staff travel tickets are excluded from earning status Points, Qualifying Points, or promotional bonuses.
Do these flights also count toward HON Circle status?
No. While you earn standard Points and Qualifying Points toward Frequent Traveller and Senator status, HON Circle Points can only be earned on flights completed in Business Class and First Class.
What happens if part of my journey involves a codeshare operated by United or Air Canada?
Only segments physically operated by the designated participating carriers (Austrian, Brussels, Discover, ITA, LOT, Lufthansa, and SWISS) earn the elevated 120-point rate. Segments on joint-venture partner metal earn standard partner rates with no promotional boost.
How do these bonus Qualifying Points affect my lifetime status counter?
All Qualifying Points earned during this promotion count 1:1 toward your lifetime status total. Earning 120 Qualifying Points per segment accelerates your progress toward Lifetime Frequent Traveller (30,000 Qualifying Points) and Lifetime Senator (40,000 Qualifying Points).
