The price of a LifeMiles under this offer is 1.32 cents each.

Avianca Files For Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection

Conclusion

This is the lowest price that Avianca LifeMiles has sold its miles throughout the year. These miles can come handy for premium cabin redemptions and are the cheapest Star Alliance miles that one can buy.

I would not, however, buy any LifeMiles right now, as Avianca has filed for bankruptcy protection. It is unclear when and how the airline will come through the reorganization and if they find someone to put up more capital.

Here are the terms and conditions of this offer:

This promotion is exclusive for LifeMiles members that have received this email directly from LifeMiles.

The bonus percentage applies as follows: for purchases from 1,000 – 200,000 LifeMiles receive 2×1+ 50% additional miles.

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