We have talked several times about how the strategy of buying points is a excellent solution to achieve large savings. Sure, If the points are accumulated for free, it is better, but sometimes it is necessary to replenish the account to detach the ideal reservation.
In this article:
Here at TFC we are constantly monitoring these promotions, and today we are talking about one that falls into the category of NEVER SEEN BEFORE.
Generally Flying Blue, loyalty program of Air France e KLM, offers a bonus ranging from 50 to 100%,But an offer of the 120% I don't remember it. The extra 20% may not seem too generous, but it absolutely is.
Details of the offer valid until June 30
- Purchase over 4,000 miles, receive 50% bonus
- Purchase over 16,000 miles, receive 70% bonus
- Purchase over 32,001 miles, receive 100% bonus
- Purchase 50,000-100,000 miles, receive 120% bonus
Maximum purchase per calendar year: 100,000 miles (not counting bonus miles). Elite members have no limit to the number of miles they can purchase, but can only receive a maximum of 300,000 bonus miles.
Because this is a very good strategy
Flying Blue launches special offers every month with which discounts, sometimes even of the 50%, the minimum price of award tickets. This means that sometimes you can find tickets for as little as 10 thousand FB points to fly from Italy to the United States, or as little as 4 thousand points to fly to Europe.
Not only that, thanks to FB miles it is also possible to book tickets for domestic flights in the US.
For example, it is possible to book with less than 18 thousand points and a few dollars, a ticket to fly from the West Coast of the United States to Hawaii.
It is good to remember that when adopting such a strategy, it is necessary to be precise. Buy points only after finding seat availability and book tickets immediately after receiving points credit. Never, I repeat NEVER, buy points to "put them in the safe", devaluations are always around the corner and therefore good to buy only at times when you already have an idea of what you want to book.
An example of how to act
It is possible to book a round-trip ticket in business to the United States from Milan Starting at 55k points per leg. During promos this price also drops to as little as 30 thousand points each way. A cash ticket costs no less than 2,400/2,800.
Buying 50k points, thanks to this promo you will spend €1250 But you get as many as 60k bonus points. Thus getting 110k points in total, enough for a round-trip ticket from Milan to New York. Adding the approximately €500 in taxes a saving of nearly 1,000€ is achieved in each case compared to paying cash for the ticket.
It should not be forgotten that award tickets are flexible and therefore refundable, often without penalty; while cash tickets, even in business class, have rules that force the traveler to pay penalties In case of trip cancellation.
