In the past year, there have been subtle hints dropped by bloggers about using less than a small undisclosed amount of Avianca LifeMiles to travel around the world in Business and First Class.
Mr Pickles dropped some hints about what he SAW.
A few unnamed bloggers have put password protected posts on their LifeMiles posts. One blogger even took down an entire post dedicated to this trick due to extensive backlash from the frequent flyer community.
Last week, a blogger sent out LifeMiles tricks in the form of an E-mail Newsletter.
There is even a FlyerTalk Forum and thread dedicated to tricking Lifemiles.
Today, Mommy Points blogged about her Ten of the Best Airline Mileage Redemption Sweet Spots and mentions the trick, although discretely. Here is an excerpt from Mommy Point’s post:
Many people are enjoying the 40,000 LifeMiles VISA, even though bloggers who don’t even receive a credit card referral incentive for it.
Jeff, Gary, and Lucky blogged today about how Avianca’s LifeMiles program has just announced that they’ll be offering a 100% bonus on transferred miles through March 17, 2014. It’s no coincidence that everyone love LifeMiles.
What you need to know: People are flying around the world in premium class products for a miniscule number of LifeMiles that will shock you if you ever found out. FYI: People are not using LifeMiles to fly to Central/South America which are Avianca’s primary hubs.
