Miles&;More launches 60% bonus on bundles: it's the best promo in 18 months

Miles&More has just launched a new promotion on Bundles & Go, the system that allows Purchase packages consisting of miles and ancillary benefits. What's new is that, until May 31, 2026, those who purchase one of the available bundles receive the 60% of bonus miles.

Translated: it is one of the most interesting offerings seen in quite some time, indeed the best of the past 18 months.

And it is also the first real weight promo since the ITA Airways has officially entered the Miles&More ecosystem., not a minor detail for all former Volare people who have decided to remain loyal to the Italian airline by switching to the Lufthansa Group's loyalty program.

What are Miles&More bundles

Miles&More bundles are not simply a direct sale of miles, although in essence the heart of the operation is just that: Buy miles to use to book award tickets.

The formula chosen by Miles&More is that of packages, called Bundle & Go. The program member can purchase one of the available bundles and receive a certain amount of miles, along with some ancillary benefits related to hotels, car rentals, or services such as Priority Pass.

There are four bundles available in this promo, with each bundle including a certain number of miles and some related benefits. The really interesting part, however, is the temporary bonus: Until May 31, 2026, the miles included in the bundle are increased by 60%.

The promo of the moment: 60% bonus miles

The promotion is valid until May 31, 2026. During this period, all Miles&More members who purchase a bundle receive the  60% of bonus miles.

This is an important offer because Miles&More, historically, is not the most generous program when it comes to selling miles. The promos come, but rarely with such high bonuses. In recent months we had seen less thrustful offers, which is precisely why the 60% of bonuses makes this window particularly interesting.

The timing, then, is perfect: ITA Airways is now inside Miles&More and many Italian travelers are beginning to think differently. Before, the program was mainly "that of Lufthansa, Swiss, Austrian and Brussels Airlines." Today, for those who fly ITA frequently, it has also become the program of choice for accumulating and using miles in the ecosystem of the new LH Group-branded ITA.

How to purchase a Miles&More bundle

The operation is simple:

1. you log into your account Miles&More;
2. you choose one of the four available bundles: XS, S, M or L;
3. you complete the purchase;
4. you receive an email with instructions on how to access the benefits included in the bundle;
5. miles are credited to the account within 5 working days.

Payment is handled through Points.com, and on the credit card statement the transaction will appear with the description "Bundles by PTS - M&M".

Why this promo is interesting

The reason is simple: Buying miles only makes sense when the final price allows you to get an award ticket at a better value than the cash price.

With the bonus 60%, the average cost per mile goes down and thus it becomes easier to build a meaningful redemption, especially if the goal is to book business class flights, intercontinental routes, or tickets that would normally cost a lot of money.

This is not to say that everyone should buy miles with their eyes closed. On the contrary: the first mistake to avoid is buying miles "because there is a promo." Miles are bought when you already have a concrete use in mind, or when you lack a small balance to complete an award booking.

In the case of Miles&More, one must then remember that taxes and surcharges on award tickets can be significant, especially on Lufthansa group flights. So the calculation should always be done all the way down: miles required, bundle price, taxes, surcharges, and cash price of the same ticket.

The first major promo of the ITA era in Miles&More

This offer comes at a very particular time. ITA Airways has officially entered the Miles&More world and for many Italian frequent flyers the German program suddenly became much more central.

Those who used to accumulate Volare now have to figure out how to move into a completely different program, with more structured rules, a much larger network, and opportunities to accumulate and redeem on all partner companies.

In this scenario, a promo with the 60% of bonus miles can be especially interesting for those who are building their Miles&More balance from scratch or for those who, after transitioning from Volare, wants to start having a buffer of really expendable miles.

Beware of rules: nonrefundable bundles and annual limit

As always, however, you need to read the conditions carefully. Once purchased, the bundle cannot be refunded. The offer is not retroactive and therefore does not apply to purchases made before the start of the promotion.

Each member can purchase one bundle per transaction and you can accumulate up to 250,000 miles via Bundle & Go in a calendar year.

Ancillary benefits included in bundles, such as Hotel & Cars bonus, Avis benefits, and Priority Pass discount, are limited to one use per purchased bundle and cannot be combined with other offers or benefits.

Is it worth buying?

The answer is: Yes, but only if you have a plan. This is certainly one of the best recent offers to buy Miles&More miles , but buying miles without knowing how to use them is always a risk. Miles are not an investment, do not generate interest, and can be devalued over time.

However, if you have already found award availability, if you are missing miles to close a reservation, or if you want to prepare for a major redemption in the coming months, this promo is one of the most interesting windows to consider. Bonus 60% is not seen every day, especially in Miles&More. And the fact that it comes right now, in the first phase of ITA Airways' integration into the program, makes it even more attractive to Italian travelers.

In conclusion

Until the May 31, 2026 Miles&More members can purchase one of the XS, S, M or L bundles and receive the 60% of bonus miles.

It is the most generous promo seen in the past 18 months and the first major opportunity to buy miles since ITA Airways officially joined the Lufthansa Group loyalty program.

As always, the bum's advice is one: don't buy miles to collect them, buy them only if you already know how to burn them well. In that case, this promo can be a really good opportunity.
