I am surprised very few people have subscribed to "Subscribe to Miles" for 187 euros per month, which gives me 17000 miles. Being Platinum for Life, it is the sweet spot to travel using my miles as my tickets are fully refundable. Latest redemption; a roundtrip in business class for my wife, my 4 year old son and I just cost me 275 K miles in total with Air Europa from MAD - SDQ (Santo Domingo in Dominican Republic)

Not interesting. Very little possibilities for redemption nowadays and lots of inflation in points value. It's extremely rare these days to see any points or miles for purchase that actually make a good deal.

Absolutely not. Flying blue is cooked.

If you do buy, I've had good success with CIBP coding 3x. Also, Atmos Summit codes as 3x when you have them charged in euros.

Most of us do not get the 80% bonus. And than you have to add the taxes and fees which on the US-Europe RT can now touch $1000 plus dollars. And now you have to factor in the latest devaluation, the business lite at saver rates with no lounge access and limited baggage allowance. Plus you will be the first to get kicked out in case of equipment change and such similar scenarios. And suddenly the value proposition is out of the window. We are getting to a point where I would just fly the cheapest J fare available.

Data point: I just looked, and my offer is for up to 300,000 miles purchased, with an 80% bonus of 240,000 miles, for a total of 540,000 miles for US $9,150. Which might be considered a good deal if one is booking, say, the USA to CDG to Asia in La Première (which can easily cost US $29,500++ if paying cash in November MIA-HND) for 700,000 miles, but one would still need to cough up an extra 160,000 miles + taxes and fees for that ticket.
