When it makes sense to buy miles
Does it make sense to buy Air France KLM Flying Blue miles with a 70% bonus when they have had better offers and most likely will have better ones in the future. It can if you need to top off your account like mentioned above or if you are searching availability and find a redemption where the value is at least 2.7 cents per mile (in C$). With a 70% bonus, the per mile cost is 1.79 cents in US$ or about 2.41 cents in C$. Then as Canadians we have to pay GST/HST on top of that as Points, who facilitates the purchase is a Canadian company. That’s where we get the rough 2.7 cents per mile in redemption value to at least break even with this buy miles offer. Now, it is very feasible to find redemptions with 3, 4 or even more cents per mile in value but I would find those rewards first and be sure you want to book those flights prior to purchasing miles as mileage purchases are non-refundable.
