Here are the mileage requirements for flying from Canada to Amsterdam and/or Paris (the mileage amount will vary for other
cities in Europe)
As we mentioned above you can book these just yet which also means we can’t provide you with snap shots of availability like we usually do (we’ll have a follow up post tomorrow for that) You’ll have to wait until about 6pm tonight to see availability on the routes and to book them. The mileage amounts required will vary by the location you want to fly to, for example you can usually fly to Brussels, Milan, Athens and other cities for even less than what is listed above for Amsterdam or Paris.
The Montreal offer is amazing no matter what city you pick whether it is 50,000 or 53,000 miles round trip for business class – and this is for Spring when the weather is nicer, the sun is out longer – a perfect time to visit Europe!
If you don’t have enough miles for a Promo Reward your best bet
is to convert Marriott Rewards points to
Flying Blue on a 3:1 basis. Remember you’ll earn 5,000 bonus miles when
you convert 60,000 points at a time (a total of 25,000 miles per 60,000
points) That means 129,000 points will get you to 53,000 miles which is enough to cover the round trip Montreal to Europe flight in Business Class! Or just convert 60,000 to get the 25,000 miles which covers the round trip Montreal flights in Economy Class.
If you don’t have any Marriott Rewards Points you
can always look at getting 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. You
would then ultimately be able to have 100,000 points not
including what points are 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 and you’ll have a lot more points!
