Avianca LifeMiles is offering 3x miles for hotel bookings. The last time they ran a similar promotion, it was with a slightly better offer (5x miles — see: [Dead] HOT deal: 5x LifeMiles with hotel bookings (30K on $390 booking), but it sold out in just a few hours. Today’s promotion (valid 12/5/18 only) started at 10am EST and ends at 10pm EST — though I doubt it will last that long.

Quick Thoughts

While I’m not seeing quite the stunning values we saw last time, there are still great deals to be had if you need to book any stays during the promo period. For instance, here’s the Marriott Magnificant Mile next Wednesday night:

While it’s not worth booking that hotel just for the miles since you’d be paying around $0.02 per mile (and Avianca regularly sells miles for around 1.4 cents each through promos), it’s an incredible return if you happen to actually need to stay there.

Last time, some folks found outliers that offered really impressive return. Keep in mind that bookings through this promotion are handled through Rocketmiles (but note that you must book through the dedicate site linked to under “The Deal”, not Rocketmiles.com), so stays most likely will not earn elite credit, points, or grant access to elite benefits. Still, at 12K per night in miles earned, that likely washes away those benefits. Also keep in mind that a single reservation can’t earn more than 200K miles. Finally, they are capping this at 4,400,000 bonus miles. If people cap it out at 200K miles per booking, this won’t last very long.
