Between July 15 and July 24 2026 the Avianca Lifemiles program is offering a bonus on purchased miles. Different members may be targeted for different offers though the standard offer reaches up to 130 percent. Members ordinarily buy miles for 3.3 cents each before bonuses. A purchase of 200000 pre-bonus miles with the 130 percent bonus yields 460000 miles for 6600 dollars or 1.43 cents per mile. The program allows purchases of up to 200000 miles per account per calendar year before bonuses. Purchases are processed directly by Avianca Lifemiles and qualify as airfare spending. Avianca belongs to Star Alliance so miles redeem on all Star Alliance airlines without fuel surcharges. This supports bookings in premium cabins on partners such as All Nippon Airways. Availability can differ from other Star Alliance programs. Members should run dummy searches before buying. The author values Lifemiles at about 1.4 cents each based on Star Alliance redemptions. Miles do not expire with qualifying activity in the prior 12 months. Lifemiles partners with Amex Membership Rewards Capital One and Citi ThankYou points. Star Alliance carriers maintain ongoing promotions that vary by member and region.
