From the Paper:

"Among the key benefit to customers of Star Alliance airlines are its "Rewards and Recognition" program. Any member of any Star Alliance frequent flyer program can accumulate and redeem mileage points on all scheduled flights operated by all alliance airlines. This additional incentive to international travelers has clearly paid off for Lufthansa. The Star Alliance also offers frequent flyer miles collected on paid qualifying Star Alliance flights count toward achieving "top-tier status" in the frequent flyer plan of the traveler's choice."
