LifeMiles 125% Cyber Monday Buy Miles Bonus
Between November 19 and December 19, 2014, Avianca LifeMiles is offering a 100% bonus on purchased miles. I wrote about that promotion before, which seems to be the "standard" promotion for purchasing miles. They seem to offer it three times per year, along with a similar 100% bonus promotion on shared miles three times per year, for a total of six promotions per year.
The cost to purchase miles under this scheme is 1.65 cents per mile (it increased by 10% as of September 30, as it was previously 1.5 cents per mile).
Anyway, it looks like LifeMiles is running a Cyber Monday promotion, whereby they're offering a 125% bonus on purchased miles.
This brings down the cost per generated mile to ~1.47 cents per mile. This is the lowest publicly available price I've ever seen on purchased LifeMiles. As usual, you can purchase a maximum of 150,000 LifeMiles per calendar year.
