As we do each month we bring you the latest set Miles & More “Meilenschnaeppchen”
discounted
mileage awards! This month the 50% off economy class tickets between Toronto and Austria on Austrian Airlines returns!
This is a great offer and below we’ll even show you how to get
these for just an annual credit card fee (outside of the award ticket taxes/fees)
These offers are good for travel until May 31, 17
You can redeem Miles & More miles for round trip tickets on Austrian from
Toronto to Austria for
only 30,000
miles. This is a 50% discount off the
normal Economy Class award ticket price of 60,000 miles.
Here are the offers:
As we mention every time they have the 50% off economy offer is that you
could in theory get the tickets with grabbing a couple of credit cards
and a $120 annual fee! – there aren’t
many cards that will get you a round trip flight to Europe for that
amount of spend! How so? As we
usually mention in this post you can boost your Miles & More account
with the Starwood Preferred Guest Credit Card from American Express. Currently
the card
comes with a 20,000 Starpoints sign up bonus. When you convert those
20,000 Starpoints to Miles & More SPG will award you an additional
5,000 miles. Which gives you 25,000 miles. Yes but I need 30,000 points
for the ticket right? Right then you get yourself the Chase Marriott Rewards Premier Visa card with the 30,000 or 50,000
point sign up bonus and no annual fee in the first year. You can then convert those to SPG at a rate of 3:1
so you have now added 10,000 to 16,000+ more Starpoints to you account. Then you would convert 25,000 Starpoints to Miles & More as
SPG will give you 5,000 extra miles for converting 20,000+ points. That gives you the 30,000 miles and you’ll still have 5,000
to 11,000 Starpoints left over. Now you have about a month and 3/4 to
book these
offers so if you don’t have these cards get them right now so you could
potentially travel in May but chances are you won’t get all the
points from these credit cards in time. You can still grab them now to
see what offers will come out
next month or beyond
Simply book the offers seen here by May 31st.
