Here is an example of this buy miles bonus saving you some money:
You can buy 96,000 miles for EUR 1760. Those 96,000 miles will be enough
to redeem for a discounted business class award ticket between Montreal
or Vancouver and Europe (with a few miles to spare).
Looking at Jan 7-14, 2016 in business class you can get the discounted
rate between YVR & CDG for 93,750 miles and C$719.84 in taxes and
fees. To buy the miles will cost C$2680.59 (including 5% GST) and add in
the taxes and fees on the award flight of C$719.84 for a total of
C$3,400.43.
To buy the same tickets outright costs C$4,825.30. As you can see buying
the miles can provide you a savings of over C$1,400 on these particular
flights!
And remember the discount for these Flying Blue
tickets is only 25% at this time, sometimes its 50% off so your savings
could be even bigger!
