Have you started accumulating Miles&More points? Lufthansa raises bonus for card applicants by year-end

In less than 3 months, Miles&More will become ITA Airways' loyalty program., news that was confirmed to us in recent days by ITA Airways' #1, so Italian frequent flyers need to start thinking how to earn miles with everyday expenses.

The only Charter that allows, Regardless of which bank you use, to earn Miles&More miles and which allows you to accumulate points on all expenses, without any distinction, I am talking about the Mastercard Gold Miles&More which turns every transaction into German loyalty program miles.

Points never expire

When I talk about how I use the points, there are two objections I always receive: I can never find the tickets or the points expire all the time. While the first objection is not to be answered by me, but by the dozens and dozens of TFC readers who have detached hundreds of reward tickets over the years, to the second one I can say that it is a real problem, but one that can be solved by choosing the right loyalty program.

Being the holder of this Miles&More Gold Mastercard eliminates this nightmare, as simply by doing one transaction per month the accumulated points are renewed indefinitely. This is no small feat when we think that normally after 36months they disappear. This is true for Lufthansa's loyalty program, but also for so many other programs. Here is that after the first 6 months free, paying 6 euros a month for this card is, alone, why this card should be in the wallet of all FFs.

Thanks to this card, for the first time, Italians will be able to forget about the expiration of points accumulated with the Italian company, no more stress no more "my points have expired." Miles&More Gold Mastercard will for the first time guarantee the eternal life of miles

Collect all Star Alliance flights here

The beauty of Lufthansa's loyalty program is that it is part of the Star Alliance, the world's largest alliance. It doesn't matter if you fly with Turkish, Air China or United or any of the other 20 airlines. Every time you fly you will be able to insert your M&M card and accumulate points. This way you won't lose big and small treasures on the road, and the points will be in the freezer thanks to the lack of an expiration date.

At the same time, it is good to remember that Lufthansa loyalty program points can be used to fly from Milan to Bangkok with Thai Air, from Rome to Brazil with Tap Portugal, and from Venice to Dubai with Turkish, but also from Singapore to Bali, or from Tokyo to Sydney with one of the many companies in the same alliance.

Lots of bonuses that accelerate accumulation

You don't need me to write it, just go and see the continuous promotions that M&M launches and allow you to accumulate tens of thousands of bonus points, that is, without spending a euro more than you would normally spend.

The basis of this game is just to be an ant and accumulate day by day and then peel off the rewards of so much work. It doesn't matter if we are talking about a first class ticket or a family vacation in economy on the other side of the world. The best conversion is what makes us happy, not what others recommend.

New customers get 9k bonus points

All new customers who request the card through this link by 12/31 and make a transaction by January 15, 26 will receive  9,000 bonus Miles&More points.

Many benefits that other cards do not have

When traveling outside the Euro area, this credit card guarantees two benefits not found even in the most emblazoned cards.

1. the Miles & More Mastercard Gold card does not charge any fees or surcharges for payment in non-euro currency
2. When you use this Mastercard to withdraw at ATMs around the world, you incur no charges or fees

Translated into a few words Using this card saves tens, if not hundreds, of euros, for a vacation to the U.S. or anywhere else in the world and simultaneously accumulate M&M points with every spending

1 Miles&More point for every 2 euros spent

Of course some readers have pointed out the "meager" mileage earnings, but if you think that for every 3 euros spent with American Express you get 2 Flying Blue points, the conversion with M&M is not much different, but as always you have to look at the result. with 30k miles you can redeem a round-trip ticket to the US from Italy. So in the end the result, net of bonuses and offers, is comparable, indeed with this card you have an advantage that no Amex card gives: The freezing of the expiration of points.

There would then be Several other benefits such as contingency insurance or purchase protection or even access to the Lufthansa lounge or, unwritten benefit, but usable in several Italian airports such as fast track. All these benefits are "on top" to those mentioned before and that enrich the motivation to own this card in one's wallet.
