The maximum miles to purchase per transaction during this promotion is 200,000 LifeMiles.

  • The maximum amount of miles to receive by a member through the purchase of miles per calendar year outside of this promotion is 200,000 LifeMiles including any bonus miles received.

Quick Thoughts

LifeMiles ran a sale a few months ago offering a 155% bonus which meant you had the opportunity to buy miles at a rate of 1.29cpp.

If you buy miles at one of the top two tiers listed above, you’d therefore be buying them even more cheaply, with 200% being the best ever bonus when buying LifeMiles as far as I’m aware.

Buying LifeMiles for 1.1cpp has the potential to be great value if you have an immediate use for them. For example, award tickets to Asia cost 75,000 LifeMiles each way in First Class. If you booked round trip tickets for two people, that would require 300,000 miles. If you buy 101,000 LifeMiles with this sale (and thereby getting 202,000 bonus miles for a total of 303,000 miles), you’d be paying a total of $3,333. Paying $1,666.50 per person for round trip flights to Asia in First Class is excellent value. Check out this post for more LifeMiles sweet spot redemptions.

The biggest issue here is being able to use the LifeMiles right now due to COVID-19. With travel restrictions, quarantines, test requirements and many of us being apprehensive about flying overseas at the moment, speculatively buying LifeMiles at a great rate isn’t advisable unless you’ll be able to redeem them ASAP.

One other thing to note is that there’s a potentially better LifeMiles sale available via One Mile At A Time. While the bonus is the same at 200%, there aren’t any tiered bonuses. That means you can get a 200% bonus even when buying only 1,000 LifeMiles rather than having to buy at least 101,000. That could therefore be a good option if you don’t need to buy many as a top up for a redemption.
