A bonus for buying Flying Blue Miles has returned, well it’s actually a discount this time. The discount is tiered and the more miles you buy the bigger the discount, all the way up to 45% off. With past offers providing a 100% or 50% discount, this offering is weaker but if you are short some miles for a redemption that you want to make soon, it can make sense to buy them right now with this discount.
The up to a 45% discount offer:
Receive up to a 45% discount when you buy Air France KLM Flying Blue Miles. Offer valid until Oct 27, 24 Click here to learn more and to buy miles.
Discounts as follows:
- Buy 4,000 – 10,000 miles = 35% discount
- Buy 12,000 – 22,000 miles = 40% discount
- Buy 24,000+ miles = 45% discount
When does it make sense to buy miles?
Does it make sense to buy Air France KLM Flying Blue miles with a 40% discount when they have had better offers and most likely will have better ones in the future?
It can if you need to top off your account like mentioned above or if you are searching availability and find a redemption where the value higher than the 1.68 cents (US$) per mile cost when purchasing at the 45% discount level.
Now, it is very feasible to find redemptions with 2, 3, 4 or even more cents per mile in value but I would find those rewards first and be sure you want to book those flights prior to purchasing miles as mileage purchases are non-refundable.
