Flying Blue Miles Purchase Price Analysis

How much does it cost to purchase Flying Blue miles?

Are there any limits on purchasing Flying Blue miles?

Ordinary members of Flying Blue (Explorer) can only purchase up to 100,000 miles per year (excluding bonuses). If you are an Elite member, you will be able to purchase unlimited miles, but there may be some restrictions on the maximum number of bonus miles you can earn during the promotion period. 🚀For example, this promotion stipulates that only a maximum of 210,000 bonus miles can be obtained. This stipulates in disguise that if elite members want to maximize rewards, they can only purchase 300,000 miles (the final settlement is 9150 USD, 510,000 miles, still 1.794 C/P).

What credit card should I use to pay?

Transactions to purchase miles are made by Points.com processing, so these purchases do not count as air ticket purchases and therefore do not qualify for the credit card’s travel rewards. It is recommended that travelers use a credit card that is working hard to meet the minimum spending requirements, or a credit card that maximizes rewards for daily purchases.
