1. What is Miles & More Qualifying Points?

Qualifying Points in the Miles & More loyalty program determine your status level and are calculated based on the miles flown multiplied by your status multiplier. These points are essential for achieving and maintaining elite status levels.

The calculator uses the Qualifying Points formula:

Where:

• \( \text{miles} \) — Distance flown in miles
• \( \text{status\_multiplier} \) — Multiplier based on your current status level (typically 1-2)

Explanation: The status multiplier varies depending on your current elite status, with higher status levels providing better multipliers to accelerate your qualification for the next status level.
