Earlier this month TAP Air Portugal released a bunch of offers to celebrate the airline’s anniversary. We’ve had those offers listed on our Miles&Go page for a little while now but wanted to provide more details on the main offer here. This offer runs until March 31 and is only available to new Miles&Go members who haven’t joined the program yet or only signed up for it in 2020.
Now there is one small caveat to getting your status match in Miles&Go. You either have to buy a Club Miles&Go Membership (read all about that here) or purchase some Miles&Go miles. The latter is the cheapest route as you can buy the minimum of miles (which is 2,000 but bonused to 8,000 right now) for 70EUR. Once you have completed the registration, submitted your other elite status details and bought miles or joined Club Miles&Go you will be given status in the Miles& Go program until September 30. However if you earn 25,000 Status Miles with TAP in that time period you’ll get Gold Status extended or 10,000 miles for Silver.

TAP sucks, they refuse to pay EU261 and its a nightmare just to get a refund. Just my 2 cents.
