Avianca LifeMiles is selling miles with a bonus of up to 145% through October 20, 2026, and the offer is targeted. Some members see the tiers below, some see a different bonus, and some see none, so check your own account before you plan around it.
The Bonus Tiers
The standard offer pays more as you buy more:
- 1,000 to 20,000 miles: 125% bonus.
- 21,000 to 50,000 miles: 135% bonus.
- 51,000 to 200,000 miles: 145% bonus.
Say you're 1,000 miles short of the 21,000 line. A 20,000-mile purchase earns the 125% tier, so the extra 1,000 miles is what moves you into the next one. It's worth checking where your purchase lands before you confirm.
How to Buy
- Sign in to your LifeMiles account and open the LifeMiles buy-miles page.
- Look at the bonus your account shows. If it differs from the tiers above, go by your account.
- Buy by October 20, 2026.
Check Transfers First
If you hold Citi ThankYou points, price a transfer before you buy. Citi is also adding a bonus on transfers to LifeMiles, which we cover in our look at the Citi ThankYou to LifeMiles transfer bonus. Transferring points you already have can mean you don't need to buy at all.
When Buying Makes Sense
Buy when you've already searched for the award you want and it needs miles you don't hold. LifeMiles is a Star Alliance program, and our Avianca LifeMiles page lists the card currencies that transfer in and at what ratio.
If you have an award in mind, check your account by October 20 and buy only what that award needs. If the 145% is the only reason you're looking, skip it until you have a trip to price.
