Millemiglia does not give up, extended validity of program and miles

While still looking for a new master, Millemiglia sent a notice to all its members announcing that the program's scheduled expiration and the time remaining to use the miles have been extended.

The program's expiration date has been extended to 12/31/2022, while the deadline to take advantage of accumulated points is set for January 31, 2023. Despite this uncertain situation, it is still possible to accumulate Millemiglia points in various modes, paradoxically even flying, but not with ITA Airways.

How to accumulate points by flying

The program has maintained a partnership with three airlines-Air France, KLM and MEA. By flying with these three carriers, all members of the SkyTeam alliance, one can decide to accumulate more Millemile points. What is most unique, however, is that only by flying with these three companies can you earn qualifying miles, useful for status renewal. Singular because Millemiglia is continuing to bill itself as a frequent flyer program, but without having an airline of reference.

Also updated the mileage accumulation tables as of last April 1. This faculty is currently valid for flights made until next June 3o On all companies.

There is also an offer to earn miles twice, namely by flying with the three companies still partners and those related to the purchase on the dedicated portal.

How to earn points with Lastminute.com

Lastminute.com is the true, only, partner of the current Millemiglia program. Not only does it allow you to earn 5 miles for every euro spent on the portal, but it is the only place where holders pcan spend their Millemiglia points by turning them into vouchers, as well as car rental from Avis.

The promos

Then there are still plenty of ways to accumulate points, almost all of those that were active before Alitalia's bankruptcy. It is therefore still possible to transform IoSI points into Millemiglia points, just as it is possible to continue accumulating points with the Two credit cards from Deutsche Bank, with shopping and all other program partners.

I recently transited through Rome Fiumicino, and around the duty free shops there were lots of advertisements advertising the possibility of earning miles with spending at the airport.

The question to ask is, why still accumulate points in a program without a future? I frankly cannot find a logical sense in choosing to accumulate points from a flight with KLM on Millemiglia, rather than on the Flying Blue program.

In this case, the real flaw is that ITA Airways is a SkyTeam member, but to date, members still do not have the ability to credit points on other SkyTeam carriers, let alone take advantage of cross-benefits
