ASMALLWORLD membership December 300000 miles

ASMALLWORLD has a new special offer this month to earn 20% more Miles & More miles and receive a 10% discount when you purchase a Prestige membership. ASMALLWORLD bills itself as a social network for travel that provides a bunch of perks and benefits when you join.

The welcome bonus miles

The welcome bonus for purchasing a Prestige Membership with ASMALLWORLD has been increased by 50,000 miles to 300,000 miles until December 31, 2024! Typically the welcome bonus for ASMALLWORLD Prestige Membership is 250,000 miles with a cost of 5,490 EUR

The cost to purchase ASMALLWORLD Prestige Membership with this promotion is discounted by 10% which puts the purchase prices at 4,950 EUR and with it you don’t just receive the miles. You’ll receive elite status with several hotel loyalty programs, Priority Pass airport lounge membership with free visits and more.

Value in the miles alone

If we look at the 300,000 miles alone and don’t take into account the other benefits, you are buying the miles at ~1.65 EUR cents each (~1.73 US Cents each). Seeing that you can get all 300,000 miles in one shot and begin redeeming right away this can be a very lucrative deal for business or first class flights.

For example, if we take the monthly Mileage Bargain offers provided by Miles & More, there are typically dozens of routes you can fly between North America and Europe for only 55,000 miles round trip in business class. That means you could potentially buy five round trip business class tickets  for only 4,950 EUR or ~US$5,200. Paying cash for those same five business class trips would probably cost at least two to three times that, if not more.

Each business class award ticket with Miles & More will incur fees of up to US$2,000 per ticket. So with this deal you would be paying upwards of ~US$3,000 per ticket. Be sure to compare this to what the cash price is for that same business class tickets. If they are pricing higher then this is good way to save on those flights.

Another potential benefit of buying the miles via this membership is that you open up much earlier access to Lufthansa First Class awards.  When you use other airline programs like Aeroplan or LifeMiles those programs typically only have access to LH First about two weeks prior to the actual flight departure. When you choose to redeem Miles & More miles you can book LH First to as far out as the schedule allows, which is almost one year! FYI round trip First Class flights between North America and Europe run 182,000 miles so you would still have enough miles left over for two business class Mileage Bargain redemptions.

And that covers the mileage bonus but it doesn’t end there when you purchase an ASMALLWORLD Prestige membership.  You also receive the following benefits:

Priority Pass Membership with 8 free lounge visits

A change to the offering this month sees the lounge access membership moving from DragonPass Prestige with unlimited visits to Priority Pass with 8 free lounge visits. At USD35 per visit and the Priority Pass membership available for US$69, this benefit is worth US$349.

Then you have all the additional benefits that come with it which are the icing on the cake.
