For this summer ASMALLWORLD has a special offer to earn 300,000 Miles & More miles along with a discount on the annual fee when you purchase a Prestige membership by August 15. 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 August 15 and the price has been decreased! 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 5,200 EUR and with it you don’t just receive the miles. You’ll receive elite status with several hotel loyalty programs and the top level DragonPass airport lounge membership which provides unlimited airport lounge access.

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 1.73 EUR cents each. That’s not a bad price at all to be buying them at. Seeing that you can get 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 (and have 25,000 Miles left over) for only 5,200 EUR. Paying cash for those same five business class trips would probably cost at least two to three times that if not more.
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 one to two business class 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:
DragonPass Prestige Membership
A US$459 value, DragonPass Prestige is the top membership level from this lounge access program and with it you get unlimited access to over 1,300 airport lounge worldwide. It also provides dining discounts of up to 25% at select airport restaurants worldwide.
GHA Discovery Titanium Status
This is the top elite status level for GHA (Global Hotel Alliance) Discovery which is the hotel frequent guest program for 800+ luxury hotels from 40+ brands worldwide. GHA Discovery Titanium status provides the following:
- Double room upgrades (based on availability)
- Early check-in (based on availability)
- Late check-out (based on availability)
- Welcome amenity
- Status sharing
- and more
GHA Discovery Titanium status typically requires 30 nights or $15,000 spending with three brands to achieve.

- 50% bonus points
- Complimentary 5th Redemption Night
- Complimentary Silver Membership for a companion
- Late Check-out

Luxury Hotel Benefits
ASMALLWORLD also provides hotel perks when you book with them. They are a Virtuoso, Hyatt Prive and Impresario agent which means you can receive room upgrades, daily breakfast, hotel credits and much more when you book with them.
The World’s Finest Clubs
ASMALLWORLD membership gives you free access to “The World Finest Clubs”. This is a membership based program to give you VIP access (basically skip the line) to access night clubs, beach clubs and other entertainment venues around the world.
ASMALLWORLD
And finally you become part of the ASMALLWORLD community which is a social network of people who like to travel, dine and more! ASMALLWORLD receives access to over 1,000 events yearly including dining events, sporting events and more.
Wrapping it up
Purchasing a prestige membership with ASMALLWORLD is a pretty big outlay at 5,200EUR but it is one that can be totally worth it. The savings and value it can provide can be worth many times that price especially when redeeming the miles for a Miles & More Mileage Bargain or Lufthansa First Class. Then you have all the additional benefits which are the icing on the cake.
