Avianca, a bankrupt Colombian airline, based in Panama, has launched a promotion from points to miles conversions.
LifeMiles will bonus conversions from IHG Rewards and Marriott Bonvoy by 25% through May 29, 2021.
You can access the IHG Rewards page for conversions here and Marriott Bonvoy here.

You can convert 10,000 IHG Rewards points to 2,000 LifeMiles that is then bonused by adding 25% (for a total of 2,500 miles).
Marriott Bonvoy
You can convert 60,000 Marriott Bonvoy points to 25,000 LifeMiles that is then bonused by adding 25% (for a total of 31,250 miles).
