Only Premium & Super Premium Cards Discussion

It's not a problem, you can book directly on the miles and more website with the points you have

Miles and more offering 3x welcome miles i.e. 45000 miles on joining fees of 10000+gst so it's around 26 Paisa per mile

Is it worth it ? Someone with miles and more program experienced can shed light on this please

Where does it say 45k miles? On the website, it says the welcome benefit is 15k miles. If you are getting 45k miles, then it is more than worth it.

Check on miles and more website, it's offer by them not by axis

Edit: Nevermind. They are offering 3x miles to celebrate 30 years of the program.

This offer looks too good to be true.
the only risk is that after 30 November they can & will crash the value of the miles before you can even plan your foreign holiday, because there will be so many thousands of people getting 45000 miles for a very small joining fee ( like 11800) all over the world
This is exactly what I would do if I was the CEO of Lufthansa.

Then 45000 miles will not be worth so much anymore

Also wanted to know that if you need one lac miles for a return flight to USA or Canada, and you only have 45000, then how much do you have to pay for the balance 55000 miles?

This is a one time thing. I don't think they will devalue their award chart because of this.

No transfer partners available so the only way is to earn miles or redeem for flights within Asia

I don't understand-- they have Singapore, United Vistara and Air India and so many European Airlines.

And so you can fly to Europe USA Australia Japan

Not possible. Have a look at their award chart. I'm not sure what redemption value they will offer on partners, but I don't think it will be of good value either. The whole FFP is centered around European carriers, a lot of which do not operate much in Asia. So naturally, they will have a poor reward rate(or redemption value).

have you checked ?

Looks like I was wrong. Miles & more offers incredible value under mileage bargains. Grab the 45K bonus while you can. Could any of you sign up for their program?

Because it's freezing cold from 15th Jan to 29th Feb. The flights are going half empty to all the cities in Europe.

The program is year-round I suppose.

No, its only from 15 Jan to end Feb, after the Christmas New year holidays and during the worst weather in all of Europe.

Not worth going even if the air tickets are free, because there is hardly any sunlight and it's cold and windy and raining or snowing all the time

That's just this tranche. It's just like SQ SE and Flying Blue Promo rewards, they will introduce offers monthly/quarterly. From what I could gather, they had one in running in Aug '23 as well.
