Miles&More: Extra Qualifying Points for Flights to America, Canada and European Business Class in 2025

Lufthansa‘s loyalty program Miles&More is currently aiming to help members regain their status or reach a new one by the end of the year. Last week, the program announced a stunning promotion to buy points via CO2 compensations. This week, an e-mail to Miles&More members detailed an opportunity to earn bonus points. Affected are all flights operated by Miles&More member airlines to Canada, the USA and European business class flights.

All departures before December 31, 2025, will be rewarded with the following points:

European Flights
- Economy Class: 20 Points & Qualifying Points (no bonus)
- Business Class: 60 Points & Qualifying Points (instead of 40)
Flights to the USA & Canada
- Economy Class: 80 Points & Qualifying Points (instead of 60)
- Premium Economy: 100 Points & Qualifying Points (instead of 80)
- Business Class: 250 Points & Qualifying Points (instead of 200)
- First Class: 400 Points & Qualifying Points (instead of 300)

The bonus applies to both new and existing bookings. The only conditions are that you registered your Miles&More number during booking (so switching it later might not work out) and that your flight is operated by one of the following airlines:

Air Dolomiti
Austrian Airlines
Brussels Airlines
Croatia Airlines
Discover Airlines
Eurowings
ITA Airways
LOT Polish Airlines
Lufthansa
Lufthansa City Airlines
Luxair
Swiss

There is no need to sign up for a promotion, the points are credited automatically. If you are wondering how close you are getting to a status with the extra points, let us refresh your memory:

650 Points & 325 Qualifying Points for the Frequent Traveller (= Star Alliance Silver)
2,000 Points & 1,000 Qualifying Points to become Senator (=Star Alliance Gold)
6,000 HON Circle Points to enter the HON Circle (can only be earned on Miles&More member Business or First Class tickets)

The promotion also applies to HON Circle points.

Bottom Line

The bonus points are a nice gift for people who have already bought tickets, or are planning on traveling anyway. We would not recommend buying tickets just because of the bonus, as the option to buy status points via Lufthansa’s CO2 compensation promotion is easier, most likely cheaper and less time-consuming.
