LifeMiles 200% bonus

The Deal

Key Terms

  • Original promotion term between September 24, 2024 and September 30, 2024 (09:00AM-11:59PM GMT -6, El Salvador).

Additionally, the maximum miles that a member can receive during the promotion is 500,000 miles, minus the miles that the member has previously purchased in 2024, excluding bonus miles. The purchase transaction cannot be made if the number of miles to purchase, including all miles purchased in 2024 and excluding bonus miles, exceed the 500,000 miles limit.
  • The maximum number of miles to receive by a member through the purchase of miles per calendar year outside of this promotion is 500,000 lifemiles excluding any bonus miles received. If the member surpasses the limit, through purchases made during this promotion and other purchases in 2024, considering the bonuses received for those purchases, he or she will not be able to purchase any more miles outside of promotional periods until the next calendar year.
  • Each package of 1,000 lifemiles is US$33.00 without applicable taxes and US$40.26* including applicable taxes according to country of the mailing address registered in the lifemiles database.
  • GST/HST will be charged to Canadian residents. QST Will be charged to Quebec residents.
  • All accrued miles count towards Elite progress, except for miles accrued in Iberia, GOL, and certain miles compensations/bonuses.
  • You will earn qualifying miles according to the rates established for each product or service. Check your Elite progress and other conditions at lifemiles.com.
  • The purchase of miles is not reversible or refundable, except in countries where this right is granted by applicable law, such as the right to retraction in Colombia, in the cases where it applies.
  • The purchase of miles is an immediate execution contract. Once the payment is made, the miles will be accrued in up to 72 hours on the member’s account. As of that moment, the miles can be used according to the terms and conditions of the lifemiles Program.

Quick Thoughts

A 200% bonus on purchased LifeMiles is the highest we’ve ever seen, although there have been similar sales in 2019 and 2020. If you’re targeted for that highest bonus, buying 41,000+ LifeMiles will get you the 200% bonus which works out to be 1.1cpp.

Be sure to check the terms of your offer though because not everyone is eligible for the 200% bonus. For example, my wife’s account is only eligible for a 150% bonus which isn’t bad, but is a more commonplace bonus.

If you’re planning on buying LifeMiles during this sale (or any other sale for that matter), click through to Points.com from a shopping portal in order to earn cashback on the purchase – here are the current rates.

Don’t forget that if you have Citi ThankYou points, there’s a 25% transfer bonus to Avianca LifeMiles available through October 19.

Learning to love lifemiles again!!!!

@Stephen – Given Lifemiles no-notice devaluations and sporadic premium cabin award availability compared to other programs, would you suggest buying at this rate without a specific use in mind?

Teri

Do not buy LifeMiles. Miles are useless if you can’t use them. There are way too many DPs of people losing their miles because they weren’t able to use them. They expire in 1 year unless you accrue (not spend) additional Lifemiles.

Sure the year expiration is ridiculous but all you have to do to keep them active is transfer 1000 miles.

I get great value from lifemiles. But there search interface is garbage.
