Buy Lufthansa Miles With 50% Bonus (1.31 Cents Per Mile)

April 18, 2024 at 08:20 EDT By Spencer Howard

One Mile At A Time: "Lufthansa sells Miles & More miles. The airline isn’t flat out selling miles like most programs do, but rather is selling mileage bundles. These bundles are branded as Bundle&Go, and you can purchase a small, medium, large, or special bundle."

"For purchases through Tuesday, April 30, 2024, Lufthansa Miles & More is offering a 50% bonus on its Bundle&Go product."

Points Wire Note:

The medium bundle and large bundle are the ones worth considering with the 50% bonus if you aren't just topping off your account.

  • Medium bundle: Spend $1,120, receive 75,000 miles at 1.49 cents per mile
  • Large bundle: Spend $1,960, receive 150,000 miles at 1.31 cents per mile

The major benefit of Lufthansa miles is the ability to book Lufthansa first class more than ~14 days from departure.

Capital One Transfer Bonus To Virgin Atlantic

April 1, 2024 at 06:05 EDT By Spencer Howard

Capital One is running a 30% transfer bonus to Virgin Atlantic Flying Club until 11:49pm ET on April 30, 2024. 

Award flights on Virgin Atlantic have steep carrier-imposed surcharges which means brutal high taxes/fees. However, Virgin points can be quite useful for booking partners such as Air France, KLM, and ITA Airways to Europe standout.

Delta is another great option to Europe (not to/from the UK) and  All Nippon Airways (ANA) is always great if you want to visit Japan - though, award space can be tough. You can even use Virgin points to fly Air New Zealand.

Citi 25% Transfer Bonus To Avianca LifeMiles

March 17, 2024 at 16:17 EDT By Spencer Howard

Citi is running a 25% transfer bonus to Avianca LifeMiles through April 14, 2024. Generally, Citi ThankYou Points transfer to LifeMiles instantly. Just remember that while LifeMiles is Avianca's loyalty program, you need to use the LifeMiles site to search for award space and book not the Avianca site.

Generally, I wouldn't recommend speculative transfers.
