Lufthansa Miles & More
Miles & More spans Lufthansa Group and co-issuing airlines, Star Alliance, other airlines, cards, hotels, cars, shopping, subscriptions, rail, and the Worldshop ecosystem.
A calendar-year points program: Points and Qualifying Points determine Frequent Traveller and Senator, while HON Circle Points determine HON Circle Member.
The owner, currency, and rules of entry. Administrative essentials, mercifully without the brochure.
