As we do each month we bring you the latest set Miles & More “Meilenschnaeppchen”
or Mileage Bargain discounted
mileage awards. This month all offers are on LOT for departures from Toronto
in Economy Class. Simply book by October 21 for travel between November 6 and December 12.
You can redeem Miles & More miles for round trip economy class
tickets on
LOT from Toronto to Poland, Ukraine, Hungary and other Eastern European cities for
only 30,000
miles. This is a 50% discount off the
normal Economy Class award ticket price of 60,000 miles and LOT does not
charge a lot for additional taxes and fees so this is an ideal
redemption to look at!
Short on Miles & More miles? Your best bet is to convert Marriott Rewards points to
Miles & More on a 3:1 basis plus you’ll earn 5,000 bonus miles when
you convert 60,000 points at a time. That means 75,000 points is
all it would take to get one of these tickets if you
don’t have any Miles & More miles to your name.
If you don’t have any Marriott Rewards Points you
can get close to amount required to redeem for the tickets by grabbing some credit cards! How so?
As we always mention in this post you can boost your Miles & More account
with the Starwood Preferred Guest Credit Card from American Express to top off your account. Currently
the card
comes with a 50,000 point sign up bonus when you spend $1,500 on the card and then you could
also grab The
Starwood Preferred Guest Business Credit Card from American Express as it also has 50,000 point sign up bonus and then you
would ultimately be able to have 100,000 points not
including what is earned on spending. Of course timing of
getting the card(s) now, spending and getting the points will likely not
happen for this month but it sets you up for future offers. Need to
grab two tickets for an itinerary? You could choose to
get one SPG card for yourself and one for your partner or spouse.
