Earning Miles & More miles in Canada
There are only a few options for Canadians to earn Miles & More miles that can be used to redeem for these discounted reward flights:
Organically
The best option is if you are already a Miles & More member who has been collecting miles (via flights, hotels, car rentals etc.) and have enough in your account to take advantage of them.
Converting points to miles
Another option is to convert points from Radisson Rewards with a conversion rate that is terrible, at 10 points to 1 mile.
Buying Miles
There are several ways to buy Miles & More miles so that you are essentially receiving discounted flights (just as you would with any other airline’s buy miles options)
The first option, which is the cheapest option, is to buy a Bundle&Go package and they just happen to be having a bonus this month of 50% more miles! Bundle&Go is Miles & More’s way to sell miles without selling just miles to circumvent some regulations back in Germany. With this option and the current bonus you can purchase 150,000 miles for only US$1920. Click here to check out Bundle&Go
The second option is by purchasing a ASMALLWORLD Prestige Membership which awards Miles & More miles as part of their welcome bonus. This is a paid social networking membership that includes a lot of benefits and right now they have a welcome offer of 250,000 Miles & More Miles (50,00 more than usual) for 5,490 EUR
With the latter it means you could potentially buy four round trip business class tickets between Montreal and Europe if redeemed for the Mileage Bargain offers. Paying cash for those same trips would probably cost at least one and half times the cost of the membership after taking into account the very heavy carrier surcharges, taxes and fees you have to pay on the award tickets.
But with the membership it’s not just the miles you receive – you’ll also receive the a Priority Pass membership with 8 visits, GHA Discovery Titanium status, Jumeirah One Gold status and Sixt Platinum Status.
(Rewards Canada has partnered with ASMALLWORLD and we do receive a commission when you purchase a membership using our link. We thank you in advance for your support if choose to do so!)
