In late 2022, Lufthansa’s Miles & More program got into the business of selling miles, with an interesting backstory. Lufthansa has just launched its latest promotion on purchased miles. This has the potential to be a good value, especially given that this is a points currency that can otherwise be hard to accrue.
However, just keep in mind that in June 2025, Miles & More adopted dynamic award pricing. While there are some new sweet spots, I’d say the changes are mostly bad news, so make sure you study the value of miles before making a purchase.

Lufthansa Bundle&Go mileage sale promotion
Lufthansa sells Miles & More miles. The airline isn’t flat out selling miles like most programs do, but rather is selling mileage bundles. These bundles are branded as Bundle&Go, and you can purchase an extra small, small, medium, or large bundle.
At the moment (oddly, no end date is published for this promotion), Lufthansa Miles & More is offering up to a 50% bonus on its Bundle&Go packages. The pricing for these bundles is as follows, assuming your account is registered in the United States:
- You can buy an extra small bundle with a 50% bonus; this gets you 4,500 Lufthansa miles for $110, which comes out to 2.44 cents per mile (in USD)
- You can buy a small bundle with a 50% bonus; this gets you 15,000 Lufthansa miles for $300, which comes out to 2.0 cents per mile (in USD)
- You can buy a medium bundle with a 50% bonus; this gets you 75,000 Lufthansa miles for $1,180, which comes out to 1.57 cents per mile (in USD)
- You can buy a large bundle with a 50% bonus; this gets you 150,000 Lufthansa miles for $2,070, which comes out to 1.38 cents per mile
As you’ll see, these bundles come with extra perks, including bonus miles when you book through the Hotels&Cars platform, bonus miles with Avis, and discounts on Priority Pass memberships.
The nice thing about Lufthansa Miles & More miles is that you can use them to redeem for Lufthansa first class more than a few days before departure, unlike when booking through partner programs. The catch is that Lufthansa Miles & More has fuel surcharges, which limits the value of the miles.
Still, it’s nice to be able to top off your Miles & More account balance, since there aren’t otherwise many ways to do that. Miles & More doesn’t partner with any major transferable points currencies, though the program does have a US co-branded credit card.
For what it’s worth, the 50% bonus is in line with the best percentage bonus we see from the program.
Why Lufthansa is being creative with selling miles
Lufthansa is one of the few major airlines that hasn’t directly sold miles to consumers (at any cost) up until a couple of years ago. That’s not a coincidence, and it’s not because Lufthansa doesn’t see value in it.
Rather it’s because Germany has strict consumer protection laws. This has caused issues in the past when Lufthansa directly sold miles, since the company faced lawsuits over mileage expiration, etc.
Lufthansa is obviously being very strategic here, and is selling these bundles in a way that doesn’t assign a direct dollar value to the miles. While the added perks with Avis and Priority Pass are probably not worth anything to most people buying miles, this allows Lufthansa to avoid legal issues associated with selling miles at a specific valuation.
Bottom line
Lufthansa Miles & More has launched its latest promotion on buying miles, in the form of mileage bundles that are being marketed as Bundle&Go. With the promotion being offered at the moment, you can buy Lufthansa miles for as little as 1.38 cents each. While I wouldn’t be proactively picking up Lufthansa miles at this cost, that will definitely be worthwhile for some people.
What do you make of Lufthansa’s attempt to sell miles?
Not showing the bonus when I checked in. Please update status if you can.
Hi Ben, could you double check this please ? I’m a Senator with LH, logged in and didn’t see any bonuses. Thanks
Seems like fake news
Not sure where you are seeing this promotion. I logged in from both my own and my spouse's accounts and got the regular pricing.
Absolutely not worth it after the recent changes. Run away as fast as you can from the LH group. Inflated ticket prices, terrible hard / soft product, lousy service and worthless miles.
Boycott the LH Group. Pick a reason.
Almost certainly not worth it, unless you are planning to score a First Class award flight as a single traveller. With only 3.5 seats available in F in Allegris, it will be very difficult to find any availability for those flights.
The old F product is dated and the hardware often faulty.
For C redemptions, add LH surcharges (at least USD 1200 on US routes roundtrips) and you may just as well take...

This program is only worth it with windfall miles, which you collected at no additional cost.
It really depends. Some routes have very low surcharges plus if you are SEN you can benefit from the 50% discount on companion awards. And actually reward flights ex-some destinations (e.g. J from Oslo, Stockholm, F from Warsaw) are cheaper than before the implementation of the dynamic awards so this can be a really good deal.
Originating in Scandinavia or Eastern Europe will also result in much lower revenue ticket prices. Not sure if the the Companion benefit will outweigh this.
It might - as an example:
- RT in F WAW-DEL (e.g 6-15 September) for two (with SEN companion award) is
201,596 Miles + PLN4,897.36 (roughly EUR 1,1k).
The exact same trip costs EUR 8,8k when paid fully with cash (via google flights), which means that for this trip 201,596 miles is worth EUR 7,7k.
So yes, this can be an excellent deal.
