There are a variety of ways to purchase points and miles for loyalty programs. Miles&More, a program originated by Lufthansa and now covering five major airlines in Europe, offers multiple means to get those sweet award miles. One of them is called Bundle&Go, which allows you to purchase miles alongside a bunch of (mostly useless) other perks.
Usually, these packages are sold with a bonus on top of the miles. This time, you get 30% discount on each bundle, allowing you to purchase 100,000 Miles&More Miles for €1,225, resulting in a decent value of 1.23 Euro cents per mile.
You can choose between three bundles:
- Large: 100,000 miles for €1,225 (1.23 cpm)
- Medium: 50,000 miles for €700 (1.40 cpm)
- Small: 10,000 miles for €175 (1.67 cpm)
- XS: 3,000 miles for €63 (2.10 cpm)
Terms & Conditions
If you want to get the 30% extra miles, you have to purchase a bundle before June 30, 2024. You will receive your miles within five workdays (sometimes instantly) but must respect the limit of 500,000 miles that can be purchased yearly. You can find the full terms and conditions for the promotion here.
Just like earned miles, purchased miles expire after 36 months. This does not apply to M&M status holders or owners of a Miles&More credit card.

Redemption Options
We can’t stress enough that buying miles is only worth it with an immediate use in mind, since airlines can devalue them at any time and without prior notice. We still have some suggestions for you:
Also, Lufthansa’s and LOT’s Mileage Bargains are fresh and offer plenty of quality redemption options:
Bottom Line
1.23 cent per mile is a decent price for Miles&More award mileage. If you already have a way of redeeming them in mind, go ahead and buy as many miles if you wish. That being said, it is never a good idea to stockpile award mileage, as airlines can devalue their award charts anytime.

Hello,
In the article it says the maximum number of 500k miles can be purchased annually. However in the T&C there is information about 250k miles. Can anybody comment on this?
Hi there,
The link to the full terms and conditions of the promotion doesn’t work…
I am trying to find out how long these miles stay valid.
Also, I have a Brussels Airlines AMEX card that makes my Miles&More miles valid without limit (as long as I use my card every month). Would this also apply to the miles that I buy?
Kind regards,
walter
Hello Walter. You can have a look at the terms here:

Miles always follow the same expiration policy, no matter how you earned them. So they would usually expire after 3 years. However, as long as you got your credit card, they won’t expire.
Thank you, dear Peer.
